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?
