I want to lower my e.t.'s so i'm thinking about ceramic wheel bearings are they worth the money? I am also thinking about getting an air shifter will that make me quicker or just more consistent? thanks

air sifter will deff. help auto shift is even better if you want to be consistent. wheel bearings are worth it you will see 1 to 3 mph down track :thumbup:

 

[SPOONJP]

dont know about drag racing but they def make a difference on our track bike.

I didnt pick up $hit with my race ceramic wheel bearings. Waste of $400 if you ask me. Also have to keep them lubed every few passes. Use the money on something else

We run road race instead of drag and have good luck so. Far

Why the constant lube?

Huh? Why? I was gonna buy them for my 01 750 when the rear bearings were shot. I was gonna use them for normal track days. I didn't see anything about lubing them constantly. I didn't get them cause they were close to 400 bucks when the stock ones were 40 delivered!!!:headscrat:hmmm:

Worked great for me... if you don't apply them correctly you wont get shit out of them. The newest bearings are sealed like the stock ones and last longer.

LOL you got the full drag bearings which we dont use anymore, they help alot and make the bike much better to ride and push LOL.
PM me if you need a price on a set.
Worldwide Bearings are the way to go

If they are going in just a track bike and not on a street bike, just take a set of stock bearing and redo them!

pull the dust covers off and spray them out with some carb cleaner, to get all the grease out.

Then take some chain wax and spray the bearings down and reinstall them. just reaply once every 6 months!

40 bucks to 400 bucks ( still on the same set of bearings now for 2 years and works just as good as the ceramic )

I do have the wwb, without the seals. The bike does push easier, but did not see any gains in et or mph

 

[01750?]

there is a lot of other important factors than just that for ex. brakes draging, you rear wheel straight you cant be exact by the marks on your swingarms been there and you chain lot of times there is tight spots that you have to look for

 

[gixxre750]

In theory, they should pick up a bit. Heres what you should do. Go to the track and give me 3 honest full out passes with your stock bearings. Put the ceramic bearings in at the track (takes less than 1 hour). Make 3 all out passes with the ceramic and let us know the outcome. HAS TO BE DONE ON THE SAME NIGHT so all factors are equal. I can tell you how to install them really quick and easy if you need me to.

I had no idea the bearings would change it that much! I would like to see the reults. The ceramic bearings do turn a lot more freely!

Ceramic bearings would be a waste of your money. Stick with stock bearings and improve your technique. A couple practice days will lower your et's more than new bearings.

If your looking for the Most out of your bike everything is important and ceramic wheel bearings are just as important. People dont look at the little things that add up to less friction like tightness of certain bolts, bearings, breaks and chain tightness. The way I see it is do you reasearch and you tell me one bike that has been a chamion that doesnt have ceramic wheel bearings. Not saying the bearings did it but EVERYTHING MATTERS :thumbup:

Don't stop at wheel bearings...go all out with tranny and engine bearings too!!! :infrandom

LOL your trying to be a wiseass but yet you should do those if you have the motor/trans apart.
I love when people knock shit. Shit I guess all the Pro Road Race bikes have STOCK wheel Bearings right? :laughingr

Part smartass, part wiseass. :thumbup: There's a difference... I don't think it really pays off though unless you are at a certain level of racing with a certain achievement established and in close racing needing every tenth of a second on the track...
