mainshaft bearing
anyone swap out their inner primary mainshaft bearing on their early EVOs for a sealed one?
dennis kirk sells them ...2 great reviews
debating
...i got the inner primary off, anyway... sending it out along with the cover for powder ...so it's all gotta come apart, anyway

Many of the replacement double sealed are meant to go on the mainshaft without the race. So if the one you are looking at is that way you will have to pull the race off of the shaft.

race must be on the shaft
that shaft gotta come out of the tranny to get the race off?
maybe just best to stay with OEM like 'sqdealgeorge' says

I have run one for over 15 years...I originally ran one because I was running a belt drive with a dry primary...I put a wide tire kit on my bike, and went back to a primary chain and stayed with the sealed bearing because it makes for easier primary teardowns.
