ceramic is supposed to last longer, as it copes better with heat. I cut grooves (like a thread) down the far end exup bearing on one of my fazers and it hasn't been touched for ages. It was a yamaha dealer that said he had been doing it for years with great results. I have to say he was right as i have owned mine since 2005 and it has worked perfectly. When i bought the bike new the exup started sqeaking after 500 miles and i was not impressed! Cutting a fine thread round the exup bearing surface traps grease, so it requires less maintenance. :thumbup
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
