                You're welcome, Marco. Your package went off by Royal Mail today (complete with our Queen's portrait on the stamp) and should be with you in about 10 days. Described as a low value gift which usually keeps US Customs from interfering with the package. Please let me know when the bearings arrive......

                  I still have six bearings available at present, I know several XSives asked me to 'reserve' them a bearing but I've had no contact from them so far. Times are hard and we're all in austerity, so maybe they've changed their minds.

                  So...these bearings are available if anyone wants any...

                    Bearing arrived!!

                    Hello James,

                    Received my bearing in good condition. I know it's been said many times but it bears repeating. Thank you so much for your essential and considerable efforts to keep these bikes on the road. Thanks again, Don Turnwall

                        Received my bearings in the mail earlier today, safe and sound.

                            Okay, I know I've asked this before, but short of removing the tire and actually checking the bearing, how do I know if it's good/bad? If I have to remove the exhaust again to pull the engine, I figure this will be a good time to pull the wheel and check it.

                              While on the center stand, from either side, grab the rear tire at twelve and six o'clock and push with one hand while pulling with the other and feel for a slight looseness. Make sure, if you feel the slightest movement, it isn't the SA bearings also.

                                Thanks Schming. So, I'm looking for looseness or no? I hope I don't see one or the other. I have abunch of Yamaha oil seals, etc. that I have no idea what to do with.
