I had to replace a gear on my bike, so while i was at it I purchased the transmission bearing kit.
I was impressed with the bearings compared to the stock ones, because the mike's set has a groove around the outside of the bearings, and a hole in the side. Since some of the bearings have an oil feed directly to it, this allows the oil to be injected right directly inside the bearing for better lubrication. My previous, possibly stock ones, did not have these holes at all.
The bearings may wear out after a week of riding, but right now, they appear better, and the roll better.
Just my two cents.
