2005 EC200 Continual RH Crank Seal Failure

I love these bearings . They were expensive so Gasgas stopped using them at some point . My 2010 and 2011 had just ball bearings and they were even sealed on both sides so no premix oil got to the balls . Stupid design . Both bikes got the two piece bearing on that side . On another note I believe the 200 engines back then did not get the two piece bearing design at all . Not sure why . Would have to go double check parts diagrams . But pretty sure the 200 did not . The side to side in the 200 engines were the bearings sliding in the actual cases . My 2001 did this . Ran for years like this . I eventually got a 2004 engine and rebuilt it . It did not do it cause it was a low hour engine that was one of the 04 that had crank stuffer bolt back out and destroy engine . I also have a set of nos 200 engine cases on shelf that was sold to me by mistake as 250/300 cases . I needed the 250/300 cases for a build . Cases were boxed wrong from factory.
Some how I missed that this was about the 200. Oops.
