Subject: reasons for bearing failure
Hi,

>Are you absolutely sure this is a good idea ?
We changed the bearings yesterday evening. After a precise measurement we
decided to insert the original Honda tubes, not the self made new ones. The
reason for the bearing failure seemed to be that the right bearing was not
inserted properly.I now have SKF bearings with double sealings and new
sealing rings. The rings came from Honda, for the whole bike there are four
different rings, they cost 64,-DM per bike. The bearings were cheaper:
40,-DM.
>and "Sakis' good experiences with SKF bearings"
I got them in now.
>I am still unsure if this tube is really the problem.
You seem to be right.
