for some time there are now faked skf and fag bearings around. masses of chinese skf and fag bearings are available on the net on epay etc.. so be careful when buying bearings via the net.
a local scooter shop here in germany told us there are many around. cheap rubbish caged bearings skf-stamped or fag. made in china and available cheap in the net.
another problem are "genuine piaggio parts". we all know that piaggio sells a lot of low quality indian made parts in piaggio packaging now. THE NEW problem is that single very big german parts stockists and italian stockists are putting now low quality crap parts in original piaggio bags themselves and sell them as genuine piaggio parts.
