bearings cages again?

Those blasted bearing cages... one of the biggest headaches with the bmw single sided swingarm R1100/1150 motorcycles has been cage failures and then the differential large bearing piles up,

this should be something that wants to be checked anytime you have the gearbox off for clutch service etc.

thanks for being so kind to show us whats going on,

Charles & Jake; the metal flaking from the bearing ball and races, does any of it show up in UOAnalysis, i would suspect that at the least we sould be able to find it in the filter ?
