RE: Saito 125 engine bearing failure
don't really recall how long i ran them, however, it was not long. I cannot say anything about life expectancy as they were not run all that long. they were in a saito 100, and an US 60. The ultra stick is just a fond memory now![&o] The Saito 100 they were in has a long history of problems. Mostly bearings. at the moment, it is down waiting for a new cam, lifters, ring and new bearings again. Last time i checked Horizon, some of the parts were on B.O., so engine is setting on shelf ... waiting. I have about reached the point of trashing it. Something has to be wrong for the bearings to keep going out. Perhaps some where along the line, I somehow managed to warp the crankcase?
