NC30/35 Engine Bearings

[Tim400GB]

You've got my interest.

What consists of a 'set', 4 of each size?

Curious...Not that I'm in a need or position to do so ( having just got the bike ) but are many essentials such as these ( and your similar piston buy) going no longer in stock making simple rebuilds no longer an option?

It's not possible to do a 100% quality rebuild without these parts. If the bearings are worn, than they need to be replaced before it fails.

Yes Honda have discontinued the bearings and Pistons now, though you can still get rings

I really should check this forum more often.

I'm in for a set at any price, Mike. I'll even swing by on the RVF when I pick 'em up. :)

Can you post up the bearing sizes.
Ive a mate who runs a bearing supply company and another who runs a gear company, I will ask if they know anyone that manufactures custom shells.

Hay All!

I have great news for those looking for bearings. I have just struck a deal with Daido Metal USA, Performance Bearing Division, to make replacement bearings for the NCs. Daido Metal in Japan is the OEM for the Honda bearings.

This might be off subject, but is there a way to tell what bearing color is used without taking it apart? Something tells me "no".

If you look at your case codes, and can see your crankshaft through the little view windows behind the alternator, sometimes you can get the crank codes. Then, you can tell what Main Bearings you have, and a ball park of what the rod bearings might be (since you can't see the rods - unless you flip the engine over and pull the oil pan)

Or, for less than $30, you can buy a great USB Borescope "Snake Light" from China. I was so impressed that I bought two of them. Be sure to get the 5.5mm dia head so you can go through the spark plug hole of these babies.
