Very true, look into that as well. Ask them while your bike is torn down if your rotor/stator is welded together or bolted together. You want the welded one. The bolted ones WILL fail.

Got your PM. At the VERY LEAST, have them check EVERY SCREW on the rotor while they're inside doing your bearing. Here's a link to my thread. Read every post (especially mine) before you go any further. Also ask yourself if you'd like a [free] Chrome Inner Primary Case out of the repair...details in the thread on how to do this, but you need to work with the Parts guy right away and have them order one when they order your parts package for the IPB fix.

Are they doing the proper fix or the half a$$ fix? The proper fix will have them installing a new Inner primary case that is doweled. That is why your IPB failed. No dowel to keep everything aligned.

okay keep on coming with them guys !
List of Items to bring up with Service when I drop off the bike.
1. Please make sure that I have a welded rotor/stator.. if NOT please replace my bolted one with the welded one.
2. Replace inner primary case with a doweled one (the one that I have now will only cause the problem to happen again.
3. check EVERY SCREW on the rotor ....

The proper fix Vic mentions involves replacing BOTH the IP case and the Transmission case with doweled cases. We've come to call it the "Full Monty Fix". Usually, on your first failure, you'll just receive a new bearing & race. WHEN that fails the second time, you push for the Full Monty. Keep us informed on your experience.
