Rear wheelbearing broke up

Well had lucky one on monday evening rear wheel bearing broke up on motorway. I managed to get bike home through back roads at 20mph. Bearings were not that old i think they were kyo (did i spell that right) as i have cb 500 v and cb500s not sure... As i changed all  wheel bearings in both bikes... In last couple years. I have to check my ebay history.

take the opportunity to change the two.
very easy with the manual in hand

Only change bearings few year ago ... Very poor bearings becareful what bearings you buy only buy jap madebearings

Well took wheel out sprocket bearing broke up also wheel bearing nearest to sproket.. Broke up to bits also use bearing puller to get remains of bearings out

Did you have your chain tension set wrong? for them to go like that on same side suggests too much uneven tension on the sprocket bearings
