Hello everybody, I try to look at this on the forum, o found some info about half bearings but its confused and i can’t put all together.
I have a 2014 1199s with 11K km on it.
At 10K the con rod bearings of the vertical C. blow out.
I rebuild the engine with a used good crankshaft and conrods with the original bearings on it. the dealer told me that "it was assembled as it was removed from the original bike, never open".
so i assume the bearing sizes was by the manual.
after 1,300 km using the bike in low revs till reach the top, the bearings blow again the day i pushed the bike a little more.
The bike its used ONLY on TRACKDAYS on circuit, not the street.
I need to rebuild again, perhaps the bearing sizes were not ok.
the manual specs only mention blue or yellow bearings depending of the A or B letter on the conrods/crankshaft.
but the catalog has also red, brown, green and black bearings.
If a measure with plastigate, once i get the size, how do I know with color to get?
i cant found any table with the COLOR and SIZE of each bearing!
In the case that goes a mix of color, for example Blue+yellow, which one goes on the lower half of the conrod and which one goes on the upper half of it?
any help about that?
thanks to all
