Any of you have strong opinions either way on ceramic bearings?
In the engine I have seen them last twice as long and they are really great at reducing friction. I have been told they will not "lock up" due to contamination from dirt, but will become more "loose". I was told that if dirt did get past the air filter they don't "lock up" and that is another benefit over normal ball bearings.
They are not cheap at all but in my experience with them, well worth the price.

On my 125 I have yet to change my trans bearings since upgrading them to the ceramic and so far I have yet to change them with countless bottom end rebuilds. I normally will change all bearings every bottom end but have not needed to change these yet. I can say I have doubled or tripled the time on these bearings without a worry that they would break.
