If i may be so bold.....how much and from where?

What about you wheels and or trans gears?

The guy at the local bearing house explained that considering the super extra cost, it wasn't worth putting ceramic in the bike's engine or motor. He claimed that the ceramic's real benefits were reduced friction at more than 15,000 rpm and the fact that electricity will not flow through it.

I am really interested in what you 'real world' think. I was in the store pretty late on a Saturday and the guy really didn't seem to want to fill out all the special order paperwork.

i did it for other reasons. just to get longer bearing life between crank rebuilds. I have high crank loads. Different motor set ups. the main bearings journals are size wrong on the crank. it needs work.

ceramic bearings are gr8t $$$$. i saw a test on dyno of a street bike wheel bearings helped like 1.2 rear wheel  hp. i wounder if anyone has tested them on a 2 stroke motor to see how they would hold up to the gas and oil mix. wounder if they would get surface chamfer . i put slick 50 in my quadzilla trans ( clutch needed replaced ) ran it for a few hours . finished the clutch off. drained it out new gear lube and clutch . shifts so easy that doing 3 gear doughnuts couldn't figured why it would booged . i had bumped the shifter and was in 5th . polish your shift forks and anything else you find that has a ruff edge.  not new news just sometimes it helps to be reminded .

the main bearing fit on a kx 500 is not right. i know on a 125 it's worth .75hp with C3 bearings.
