Theres 3 bearings in the rear
1 in the rear sprocket
2 in the rear wheel ie one either side
as for changing them, there is nothing to say you have to change both in one is gone but it is advicable to make sure the other doesnt go. They are not too expensive from my knowledge (wheel off and in to mechanic think cost me around �15 for one so around �25 say for two)
Yes the standard front sprocket is a 15, so adding a 14 tooth will make it pick up the front wheel more
more wheelie points.
As for the oil ive never really measured the amount i put in or take out but did read in the manual about 2.9l. Saying that when i first got the bike got a mechanic to change the oil and he put in 2.9l as told and then had ot add around 2-300 mills more to bring up the dip stick.
Do around 1 litres in, start engine, 1 litre, start engine, 0.8 litres, start engine, then just top it up a bit at a time. Normally take it for a wee run around, let it settle while level then check it again.
Cant understand though where does the extra oil added go that the manual doesnt say is needed??
