Bearing Manufacturer choice

(1/3) > >>

Matt_Harrington:
Is there much to choose between SKF, NTN etc when selecting new bearings for the primary shaft on a 400/4. I'm not trying to get the cheapest just decent bearings. I notice that some NTN bearings are made in Taiwan rather than Japan - this maybe irrelevant......

Nurse Julie:
NTN, SKF and KOYO all OEM standard bearings, they are all excellent. Some bearing you can only get from Honda but the 400/4 primary is available in the correct type from any of the above mentioned, if I remember correctly 🤔🤔🤔

Athame57:
Back in the 1980s if I needed a wheel bearing etc I would take what I had to show at the counter of a bearing manufactor in Lewisham and they would provide an identical one that was British made and much cheaper!

A lot of Japanese manufactures have moved to Taiwan since the 90's, including Riken, NTN and many more  ;)

Back in the 70's it was cheaper to get a Honda part with 20%discount than a british with 65%discount for wheel bearings
