i replaced the bearings in the ninja, and was due to replace the rod TODAY!, and it broke yesterday.
Good motors while they last. i thought mine would last.
Hope OS makes them better, what am i saying OS will make them better. Good luck
May she rest in peace. Shame to see one go. I can almost understand the rod going, given the pinch the engine has (which is why I'm not TOO mad my first one died after a year). Never needed to change the bearings, but I know one guy that had his bearing fail last year. I'm hoping my fresh one I just got doesn't meet an untimely demise, because it is far from slow. I will be getting 2 rods as insurance though...
