Crankshaft Bearings

So why are crankshaft bearings so hard to come by? I've been waiting over two months [back-ordered; in "soon"] for the stinking things, my motor sitting in pieces waiting [80 CBK].

Yes, you're bloody right I'm frustrated! Riding season is going to be over beore I get back on the thing [and believe me, we don't have much of a season up here!].

Re: Crankshaft Bearings

because it's a wear component. so the only option you have is NOS or an aftermarket copy. There's absolutely no used parts market for them. And I can't imagine that the demand is high for bearings on a 30 year old bike, so they probably don't get produced very often. It sucks, but that's basically what the deal is.

Where did you order from, btw?
