After a crashed I left my YS 91 on the shelf for 4 weeks without burning the fuel that left inside the motor. Do you think my bearing is (rusting)bad now?
Thanks,

Depends on a lot of factors: Type of fuel, humidity, etc...
The only way to know for sure is to remove the backplate and look. If there is ever a question about one of my engines, I'll remove the crankshaft and spin the bearing with my fingertip. If it's not silky smooth, it gets replaced.

You have to be careful evaluating bearings like that. Certain kinds of ribbon retainers will move around a lot while spinning slow and fool you into thinking that the bearing is bad when it is really OK.
