F800GS Rear Wheel Bearing fail...

Hi Folks. Long time reader, first time posting.... I have a 2012 F800GS Triple Black, now with 55000 miles

Having recently come back from Argentina and an epic 16000 Miles from New York to Ushuia and back via Buenos Aires I thought the bike had done well to only suffer a few punctures and a rear brake seizure.
I had been aware of a knocking noise in the final drive in the last few days of the trip which i had put down to knackard chain, but on close inspection last night found shards of metal round the rear spindle, so removed the rear wheel to find this!

I must have ridden 1000+ miles with collapsed bearings which has now destroyed the rear hub.

Before I go to Mr BMW, I've been scouting ebay etc for 2nd hand hubs and have found one for a 2015 F800R which looks identical to the GS hub.

Does anyone know if these are the same parts and interchangeable.

Thanks in advance

OUCH!

Have a look at a parts fiche to cross reference the models.

Click on the part number to see which models using a particular part. Looks like you might be in look with the F800R hub.

Mine gave up last year after 70kkm, so roughly about the same as yours. I caught it, and had them changed before anything bad happened.

I'm glad that you've sorted a replacement part. Moto Works are a good source of parts both new and secondhand. I have always had top service from them.

What's it like to be home? We got back from Argentina in late February after doing New York to Alaska and then Ushuaia. I do miss the road.......our F800GS did very well especially as it drags a sidecar around with it. A Ural sidecar expertly joined by the lovely people at Watsonian Squire.

Have a look at www.sidecartravels.co.uk if you're interested. Ta.

Had the same happen to me and it took out the rear sprocket carrier. Second hand one sourced from eBay but from a newer model as the sprocket bolts were M10 not M8.

Biggest faff was drilling out the hardened sprocket! Good job the neighbour is a pro at sharpening drill bits!
