Wheel Bearings

I had a rattle develop that sounded just like a loose clamp on the exhaust but I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from and it didn't do it all the time just mainly when coasting or under acceleration at certain speeds. Yesterday, I finally heard an added squeek with it and it did it more often. I couldn't tell any difference in the handling. I finally jacked it up and found a little slack in the front wheel bearings so I ordered new ones last night. I can't understand what's wrong I only have 85,000 miles on it. LOL. Has anyone ever had to change those bearings? I don't remember seeing much on it in the forum. Guess I'll ride the Ninja till they come in.
