I have done option #3 two times; yes I have installed two IMS bearings on the Jägermobile. Why? When inspecting the bearing after 30k or more miles it did not feel as smooth as it did when it was newly installed. I have not had any problems with the LNE bearing, it’s just preventive maintenance (single row bearing).
To help maintain the bearing:
Keep the oil to the max level, a good percentage of the bearing is in oil when the motor is not running.
Frequent oil changes (I change oil 3500 – 4000 miles)
Hi rev that motor every chance you get!
