Rear wheel bearings

#1 PostAuthor: gordon62 » Wed Jun 05, 2013 4:21 pm

Hi all,
Just about to order some bearings for the rear wheel on my Z1000,
and just wondering what you guys do, do you fit open bearing as they originally have, or do you opp for rubber sealed ones,

Gordon,
Sealed bearings & stick to SKF, FAG or INA brands.

I know by experience :oops:

I bought some off of evil bay & had a dry bearing collapse on me - not a nice feelin :??
