chanman Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Mine have been fine, there should be an external seal that is watertight, but obviously over time or just from the start it could get compromised. If you replace it you should use some silicone to seal it up again. Edited February 17, 2023 by chanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be. And If so were they damaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I just got my bearings damaged at 1750 km mark. Just rode over some puddles. Doesn’t seem any better than V11 batch 1 bearings. At least they fixed the issue. KS just claimed that they use better seals. They didn’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Well My freind rides s22 with SKF bearings and it works fine, so there is hope my freind. Regarding bearings upgrade the motorhubs are sometimes sized differently some are dead easy to work bearings into some are not. Dont forget the special bearings glue (expensive stuff....) Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
