hi,


currently giving my 2012 ex8 a quick service, the bearings on the main pivot need replacing
there are various quality bearings but i am on a limited budget
what type of quality are the original bearings?

the types i am looking at are either
6900 2rs stainless
6900 2rs chrome

will the chrome ones be ok or is it best to use stainless? bearing in mind the stainless are 3 times the price


thanks

    Chrome steel will be fine in the pivot

    thanks for that, they are in the swing arm, is that still ok

    whats the difference between the two? rust, better quality?
