<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The stock O.S. 1.4 EFI bearing is stainless and
shielded, the one for the RX is not. My original bearing (non-shielded) was
shot within 5 gallons and a friend of mine only got 3 gallons on his. I put
in the EFI shielded bearing with the shields left in and it's still going
strong and smooth after 20 gallons. The EFI bearing is a drop-in replacement
for the RX since they both use the same crankcase. I've since bought a
second RX and replaced the original bearing with the EFI bearing before I
even started it up for the first time. BTW, all bearings are not created
equal. I'd recommend the O.S. packaged version as it's an NTN high quality
bearing packed with hi-temp grease that'll stand up to the temps we operate
at.</FONT></DIV>
