Motorcycle Wheel Bearings

[mcguirepm]

I am working through the bearing life expectancy calcs for the bearings in the wheels of a motorcycle. The standard L10 calcs are straight forward enough. However, I'm interested if anyone has any tire/wheel impact capacity calculations or specs that I can use.

Any insights or assistance would be appreciated.

I don't know about bikes, on cars figure on 4-8g on the bearings during a kerbstrike.

Cheers
