Thanks to Michael and Adrian for the info on bearings.
I'm wondering if water crossings are what makes the bearings
fail? Here in the USA we have almost no problems with
bearings on any M/Cs. and water is very uncommon to cross here.
A lot of M/Cs use the similar size bearings and some of the
bikes even weigh a lot more. I will get a spare set of bearings
for my @ though, just to be on the safe side.
Thanks again,
