Thanks

Was this the original Kawasaki bearing? How many miles on the bike?

I km percorsi col C14 non fanno testo a questa mia informazione di prevenzione,il mio cuscinetto non si è rotto per i km percorsi ma per mancanza di sfere 4 al suo interno...capito.

So the question is: will Kawasaki help you out with the cost of fixing the bike?

I'm thinking not based on MG's reply..

From the Forum English I have pointed out that even the broken bearing in seven balls as the other, beautiful oversight that I had, now I do not understand how you can break the cages that hold the ball being broken bearing well lubricated.

It's possible it was bad from the factory, I guess.   If it had broke within the warranty period you would have had it covered.  Now, not so much unfortunately.  You could push it higher up and possibly retain a lawyer but I think it would be less to fix it assuming someone of your skills.

Con 430 euro Jim  risolvo,in più la concessionaria mi farà un prezzo di favore per i ricambi.

Probably Chineese bearings....

- imho , its impossible for the bearing to come with missing balls.

- its more likely that the bearing failed in use : pitting of the races and then destroying the balls.

Ask yourself this.  What would happen if the axle nut was loose, lets say the spacer got hung up during assembly somehow, the nut felt tight, but once moving it freed itself.  What will that new gap create?  I really do believe this was an assembly error, we all make em.  Bottom line is for whatever reason MG survived to ride another day.

 well as removing it the nut you can not create a fusion of the genre, this can happen to change the alignment of the stem with bearing failure.

I agree with Pistole.  It's nearly impossible for the bearing to be supplied with missing balls and if had been, you would have known it long before the mileage you accumulated.  Usually bearings fail by overheating and eating the ball cage.  Once that happens, the balls can disintegrate or pop out of the bearing.  The process for assembling a ball bearing is to put all the balls in, then put the ball cage/spacer around them.  Your missing balls are probably laying alongside the road someplace or in your wife's purse like most married guys.  I got mine back as part of the divorce agreement, but I digress...

This my fat pad of C14 which is broken does not know what it is.

I dont see anytrhing happening if axle was loose. The bearings would just be free to move slightly on the shaft. Either a quality isue withe bearing at time of manufacture, contamination introduced during its use, or overheated lubricant.

I agree with what someone said previously about not torquing the rear axle correctly causing it to spin. Don't need much elongation of the hole to over stress the bearing.
