Bearings

[Nat Penton]

Del,
My experience is that frequency of flying and/or weather will 
not affect bearing life. I have maybe 600 flts on one of my 91FXs. It has set on the shelf for several different periods and still feels very nice.                        Nat

  Nat..
      Do you feel that flying infrequently & in high humidity areas that will still apply?

    Fuel selection is not the cause of bearing failure in the two 
    strokes. Apparently it is due to the products of combustion.
    If you will run sealed, stainless rear bearings your problems wil be over. Do not run dry, do not run afterrun oil. Do not 
    remove any seals. Provide adequate crankcase and head
    cooling.                    Nat Penton
