hello
up to now i have kept this to myself but i think it is time i came out............
i am not running koyo bearings in my crank about 6 months after i bought it the crank seized on me at about 65mph just as i sat up out of a knee draggin bend..oh yes scary (stephen ).
anyway i have a friend in notts who owns a bike shop Granby motors in beeston, he had the bike for about 2 months and finally managed to source some bearings that were the right size, with the cut out thingy you need and everything, i know he wouldnt have bodged it cos that is why it went in the first palce and he is a close friend. when he took it apart to look at the crank someone had bodged a bearing that was the wrong size into the crank, worry that it was the wrong size not this bodger simply get the angle grinder on it .
well all this happened about 3 years ago and i have done trackdays at donnington and cadwell on the minibeast and many a sunday showing up 600s around the local lanes.
if anyone wants anymore info just reply and i will have a word and see if he can remember where the bearings came from.
god damn...........the above was me, sorry i am using a different puter at work DOH _________________ MC21SP - Roth-tax

Nigel had a crank done at the end of last year for his Mugello Replica, by Chris Appleby. From what I understand, that was with alternative bearings too, but Nigel wasn't told what application the bearings were from.
The bike's still running strong as far as I know!!
Of course, if you can source the correct bearings for a reasonable price (and there is an advert at the top of the list in Classifieds!), then it may make sense to use the genuine OEM parts.

i only did the bearings thing because it was befor my years of discovering NSR-WORLD so the only info i could get was " cant buy the correct bearings, gotta buy a crank complete" if i was to do it now i would defo use the bearings for sale on this site, as although i know the bike is good, ive done 2 trackdays.......but i have that little niggle in the back of my mind........you didnt use the honda part....
we shall see, she goes well and i have the cbr for the track now. i will have a word with my mate but it was a couple of years ago though.
john blaze, if i were you i would get the correct ones, andy has some for sale on the sites main page, i think he ecven put a link on this thread. _________________ MC21SP - Roth-tax
