What I see is more like a chunk in there at 3 o'clock?
Is that it? If not put an arrow by it for us dummies

I think warranty is 12 months or 12,000 miles ain't it?

What did it feel like right before this on last ride? Anything?

"This is a prime justification for mods honey. Had I not been spending money moddin my bike I would not have seen this. And oh yeah I need new bearings now ?"

Didnt notice anything on the previous ride. Didnt feel it while checking the bearings. I spotted it when I removed the bearing seal to remove all the original grease.
That would have sucked failing at 185+ MPH

Interesting, on my last couple of rides on my busa (2011), with only 6200 miles I have picked up what seems to be a bearing sqeall. I'm about to get some new tires and other crap, so when I take it down I will be anxious to see if I have a similar issue.

I rebuilt my rear end last summer, and replaced all the bearings front and rear & jackshaft, I run a 300. I just brought all the bearings and front and rear axle into a bearing company and asked for replacements. They had 3 grades of them any of which would do they said.
