this bearing does not replace any bearing but is an added bearing in the isolated sprocket...

I purchased the IDS from my dealer and had him intall it 2500 miles ago. $361 wasted as I can't tell any difference with it. Now I'm worring all the time about bearing failure. Also I didn't get my original sprocket back from the dealer. Just never thought about it till later. If I had got'en the old sprocket back I would put it back on and not worry about the IDS failing.

I wonder how many posters on this thread have actually worked on one of these. I have, IMHO, the torque update on the cone nut will correct the problem.

Now, you want the cook to help you get a refund 'cuz the eggs were rotten......
You wanted cheaper, ya got cheaper.
If ya want someone willin' to go to bat fer ya, ya might try buyin' stuff from THEM instead of elsewhere.
i agree. been in automotive repair most my life and people STILL dont undersatnd why they cant supply thier own parts. amazing. that being said , im amazed at the bike shops that WILL install your parts. i certainly wouldnt expect them to warranty anything they didnt sell me regardless of the brand. BTW 20K miles on my IDS from Zanotti's (knock on wood) trouble free but i installed myself

After reading this thread last night I got to thinking about my IDS that the dealer installed about 5K ago. Call it paranoia but I want them to check it out so I called the shop. Service manager didn't know anything about it but he said he'd call around. A couple of hours later he called me back and asked me to bring the bike in on Saturday so they can inspect the bearing, replace if needed and install new bolts torqued to the latest specs.
Great guys at my dealership!
Thanks for posting this update. I'll feel better Saturday.
