Care:
- Lubrication: Ensure proper lubrication during engine assembly and operation, as specified by the motorcycle manufacturer. The quality of your engine oil and its consistent level are critical for bearing longevity.
- Maintenance: Follow your motorcycle's regular maintenance schedule, paying attention to any engine noises or performance changes that might indicate an issue with the crankshaft assembly.
- Storage: If the motorcycle is stored for extended periods, consider proper storage procedures to prevent seal degradation.
