A friend went to a bearing shop and bough compatible same number code spare bearings, installed them, in short time began having vibrations which got louder, dismantled cranckcase, to his surprise found the new bearings had worn the interior of the case right where bearings rests, was not aware that OB bearings have a small side pin that locks them onto crankcase. His experiment ended being a costly one, very bad music indeed.
