One would hope that they use SKF as they are made in Italy.I wonder who supplies MG (or the swing arm supplier) with bearings... hopefully not Chinese cheap $hit.
SKF is a really old Swedish manufacturer (the bearing was actually invented in Sweden), and they have a factory in Gothenburg.One would hope that they use SKF as they are made in Italy.
Yes I noticed that too.Context - on YT the owner commented that he rides backroads 'hooligan' style and hit a big pothole at highway speed. Dropped the swing arm out and found a damaged needle in a swing arm bearing which he will replace himself. 10,800 miles on the clock, claims to be riding it while waiting on parts.

...the owner commented that he rides backroads 'hooligan' style and hit a big pothole at highway speed. Dropped the swing arm out and found a damaged needle in a swing arm bearing...can't find anything negative on mine with 1600 km, what was the problem???
He's waiting for the parts to repair it. It doesn't say he's continuing to ride it like that...If he continues riding that bike in that condition then he's going to need more than new bearings.
Please show me that claim. I've read all the comments in his YouTube video, and I don't see where he says that.claims to be riding it while waiting on parts.
Thanks.
... it wouldn't be my choice to ride it either. The availability of a matching bearing should be days, not weeks and with the swing arm out why reinstall it before fixing it? Rhetorical question and we each make our own choices.If he continues riding that bike in that condition then he's going to need more than new bearings.
Thanks.
I don't know why that doesn't show up in the comments for me, but that's what he says.
