After deliberating last night, I decided to pull the bike apart and check it out. Thought that the bearing may have failed, but after removal of the seal, the bearing appears fine. Phoned around to find a seal and there is nothing locally. Phoned one shop who said it could be ordered and was 3-5 days away. I have an account with RockymountainATV and ordered from them with air freight. It should be here about 4pm tomorrow. Another shop wanted to charge us $65 dollars a tire to re and re our new tires, so Michael and I changed them ourselves. This is no small fete as these tires are tubeless radial tires and difficult to manually break the beads. Once the new tires are installed on the rims, we put them loosely on the bikes and statically balanced them ourselves. Oil is changed, bikes should be in good shape (other than my charging problem) and ready once the new oil seal is installed. This puts us behind our schedule by a day, if the seal arrives on time. Susan has been feeding us excellent food and Bill has taken us everywhere we needed to go today. They have been so wonderful.
