Crank bearing oem picture

<< < (2/2)

I used NSK in my last build.
There is no way I would have used them if I thought there was any difference in quality.
Then again, testing bearings for quality is generally well beyond my red neck abilities.
So we will have to wait and see what my motor does over the next few years.
I know Motorrad and a few other guys here use non OEM bearings with good success.

A visual check would see the differance {darker  cage, better rivets and spins far easeir}
Its not something i thought was possible until i was building a cr motor a few days ago [the differance was huge between honda oem and others brands}
Maybe kawasaki dont demand as high spec as honda do on there oem bearings {the kawasaki already have bigger main than the cr5
