Can you post a link to the vendor where you purchased your bearings? I'm sure others will appreciate knowing this information. Fortunately, I purchased a good supply of these bearings several years ago for my first Zongshen motorcycle.

As with any vendor, they might not be there a year from now...

This reminds me of the early Victory experience. SOME...not all...small handful of early Vics had some rear bearing failures, but it would take some miles. Most were two-up riders or heavy haulers. I made a point of changing my TC rear bearings with every rear tire. Once a bearing went, it hogged out the wheel so it needed to be replaced also. I wanted to avoid that. As stated, cheap insurance. I just sold the bike, with a zip lock baggy full of good rear bearings I replaced.
I got them from JC Whitney.

Spud, question. Do you use a power washer when you do get around to washing your bike? Since the advent of the power washer, in the past I've seen some wheel bearing failures and goose neck issues with my buddies who use them to wash their motocross bikes after muddy tracks. Seems the pressure blows the water right past the little axle seals. Just a thought.

So for a new bike being delivered in the next few months what's the consensus ........ replace the factory bearings or remove the factory bearings and repack them with plenty of quality grease ?

The labor is the same. If you go to the trouble of taking the bearings out you may as well replace them with high quality ones...that you have packed with lots of grease.
