Chinese bearings Hooli. Yours obviously no good. As to getting quality made in Japan/ Germany bearings? seems most brands are made China/India. Think ill be searching out Timken, SKF, NTN, Koyo etc. At least they have a name as being good. After that, no idea where my last carrier bearing was made. Andre, any bearings still made in Germany?

I assume they are.
SKF has half a dozen production sites in Germany.

'All Balls' claim to be made in the USA.

Hooli, Henderson Bearings. Hampshire 62/32 - 2RS. Koyo for 9 of your dollars. Just double check number.

Kyoto £11 from AW Motorcycles in Woodlands, purchased this morning & already fitted.

I'm thinking Hooli your previous sprocket bearing was a 'Friday' made bearing lacking any grease when finally packaged.

Just recently installed a double sealed NSK 62/32 bearing supplied from Japan for $25 here in Aus.

So far so good (with a new front, and rear sprocket and new DID chain)

Jeez Hooli, sure looks like grease and that bearing were strangers.

Pressure washers can do that to bearings as well if you're unlucky

I doubt it's that in this case.I think his bike only gets 1 clean a year, and that's a wipe over

You just did what Karcher intended ........... Can't get in to fix it, so buy a new one.

Notty, most probably just capacitor. Very easy fix and $20 here.

Postage on the Karcher is gonna be a killer though . . .

I have about 3 pressure washers that need hoses they are all different types of fittings.
