Default RE: When to replace the bearings

I guess a routine inspection once a year may well be worth while.

Over the weekend, I took a peek inside a YS91FZ which I've run for 3 years without any problems. The rear bearing had signs of corrosion. A stip down of the motor showed no damage to the piston or liner.

New bearings installed and it runs perfectly.
