For NSK bearing company Made in Japan means made in China
81cr450:
You need to watch your eBay / parts house sourced bearings too though. I bought FAG bearings from an eBay seller, Locatebearings , thinking oh yeah German bearings & when it arrived just China bearings in a FAG box. Really if you don't see in the listing the country of manufacture etched right into the bearing race , ask because ALOT of the quality brands are just boxing China made bearings.
& right on Locatebearings site counterfeit bearings

Cometic gaskets are a prime example of that.

No update was ever given on this issue...
So, I stopped using this supplier and started getting all my parts from our local Kawasaki dealer...
Guess what?
They are using the same Chinese bearing...
It says "CHINA" on the bearing and once again the packaging says "Made in Japan"
Come on Kawasaki.... :x :x :x :x
