plynn41 said:Agree with the second statement, question the first. Bearings on a car engine need to be broke in, but I can't see where the roller and pin bearings used in a motorcycle's bottom end need to be broke in. The breaking in process involves strategic wear, and I don't think it's a good strategy for roller and pin bearings to have any kind of wear.
That's just what I've heard. I do know that a new bearing is more difficult to turn than an old one when spun by hand. I've never heard of anyone having bearing issues from lack of easy break in.
