Title: new bearings in trans -remove grease???
Post by: tommorth on September 08, 2008, 04:08:13 pm

im rebuilding my ktm engine and I got bearings for the gearbox from a bearing shop I noticed that they have grease in them should I remove it before I put them in?

I wouldnt bother.  The grease quantity would be small and the oil will eventually wash it out anyway. Its all lube and its all good!  I would be more concerned about the quality of the bearing - good recognised brand or an el cheapo?
