Do the OEM throw out bearings for the TR series have a pin
through the fork pin groove to prevent the rotation while released?
I have noted one or two pins in the replacement bearings to prevent
rotation. The causes a wear spot in the face of the groove from
the pins constant contact with this single point during operation.
While the pins may prevent free-wheeling of the bearing and associated
problems, the wear spots prevent the self-adjusting hydralics from
working properly, i.e. I've seen as much as a 1/4" deep wear spot on
both sides.
If I remove the pin from the new one, the wear spots will be eliminated.
What is the down side of this? Send replies to me, I'll summarize.
(Triumph's law: for each and every "owner" modification there is an
equal and opposite, MUCH more expensive reaction...)
