The rear wheel bearing failed on my XJR1300 failed 5 miles from Dover going on holiday. Luckily next morning a bike shop replaced it and I was just delayed by a couple of hours. They found a bit of rust in there, so it was the result of me jet washing the bike a couple of times I reckon. I thought I'd been careful to keep the jet off all the bearings. Nowadays its garden hose to wash it.
