Roller bearings

Forums

I am about to start a rebuild of a 750 engine that has been in bits for at least 20 years,I bought the bike as a basket case.The engine was stripped when I got it,my question is, the main bearings are roller bearings. The rollers,cage and inner and outter are all seperate,can these roller bearings be reassembled.The componentparts all look in good condition,no pitting or any sign of wear.

look forward to any replies.. Russ

They will be the FAG bearings (sometimes incorrectly called superblends) and should be fit for re-use. I rebuilt my engine at about 45000 miles and put the old ones back in.
