Took bike apart and found a few things

Not a problem if you have the bearing with you, and get the same brand and part number. If they pull out the caliper, measure it and come back with a box from another manufacturer or worse yet, same manufacturer, same size, different part number, run away!

I may just try that! Thanks for the tip!

I took my crank bearings to the local bearing/gear place here and Luckily there were a couple dirt riders there. The numbers on my bearings matched what they had but theirs weren't high speed bearings. They ordered the high speed ones for me though. I believe total for 2 crank bearings, output shaft bearing, and the input shaft bearing was like $65.
On a side note. Moose makes a full gasket/seal kit. Comes with every gasket and every seal you would need to completely rebuild the engine. I didn't get one when I rebuilt my bike because they were on back order and didn't want to wait for it. I have used them on other bikes in the past and when they say complete they aren't joking.

When I get the bottom end done I doubt I will try it myself. IDK though depends on how difficult it is. I dont mind buy specialty tools to do the job so I may just try it. What do you guys think about doing bottom ends yourself?

This is a perfect opportunity to weld up a beefy upper exhaust mount / reinforcement.
