Last time the bearings went on my V2SQ, I had it repaired by Vortech for $600. They claim to have proprietary bearings which they won't sell to the public. I have read of guys replacing bearings themselves, but with unknown long term success. If you try it yourself, remember they spin at more than 50k rpms with heat and most bearings aren't suitable for those extremes. Maybe someone has more information.
