Re: 1100 zxi winterizing

Giz,
That is not possible.

According to the resident *self proclaimed newsgroup saviour* George,  A
ball bearing cannot "perform well" with horiziontal load.

I just read that. So you must be wrong.

Or maybe he was talking about bearings for wooden wagon wheels such as the
ones used in his prime.

I wonder how the big 22 inch wide right rear tire and rim stay on our 860hp
sprintcar when the driver throws it into a rough dirt track corner at over
100 mph lap after lap, race after race. It has a single ball bearing
supporting the axel and hub as the tire gets very good side bite while
sliding up against the cushion in the turn.

 Gee, all us race car guys must just get lucky.........

Or George doesn't know everything about modern day bearing technology.

Which do you think is the correct answer?

That statement by George was almost as dumb as the one before it where he
said Kawasaki pumps don't come with marine grade grease in them and
everybody should run out to their garages and repack their pump bearings.
Whatta' wizard........
