Can't be true, Roy. We're informed by experts here on the WG board that it makes NO difference what country anything comes from any more. Any country is capable of building crap at times, so that means that Chinese bearings are no more likely to be "bad" than German or Swedish-sourced bearings. You can NOT use the country where any component was produced to make any judgment or decision at all about the potential quality of it. To do so smacks of ... oh, I won't say, but it's ugly and reflects badly on the character of anyone who dares say it.So tighten up and fly right there. It's a new world now, get into step!! ;)Lannis (It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, it's a small, small world Sing it with me now, it's a small world after all ....)
Just to dig this up again I picked one up yesterday. Haven't had a chance to fit it to the dead alt yet.Thanks Steve.Pete
So is that not what you are implying here ? Dusty
Roy , I completely agree , any country that would allow such a thing to happen has a problem . Kind of like all of the sawdust in American breads , and the recent outbreak of Listeria in Bluebell ice cream , which according to local sources the company knew about and crossed their fingers and hoped for the best . I think these may be cases of corporate greed , and not an issue with a country . Dusty
Wayne , beer is always the difference ;D Dusty
Will send my 2 bits into this discussion among this group's heavyweights. The problem is that "China" is huge and diverse. And, we have insufficient knowledge of the individual producers and insufficient trust that their government will provide adequate oversight to ensure a solid quality 'floor.' The highest quality products in the world may be coming out of "China" but really they are coming from particular high quality producers that are in China. I personally do not have high confidence in the "Made in China" brand, the way I do for the "Made in the EU" or even "Made in the USA" brands, due solely to my concerns about the lack of conscientiously enforced quality regulations in China. It's basically a new society (b.1949) trying out a new economic system (since the '80s) and needs time to sort out the proper role for regulation. At this point I would, assuming as a consumer I am ignorant of the specific quality standards of the company producing the item, default to comparing regulatory systems and would buy European or American. If, however, a company with a brand to protect (e.g. Apple, or even Piaggio) chooses to hitch their brand to a parts producer in a country with a weak regulatory climate, I would tend to base my decision on the brand value of the end product. That is, Apple (or even Piaggio) has a lot to lose by putting in a poor quality component, and I rely on their vetting process to protect the goodwill associated with their own name.
Yeah , no idea who the heavyweights Nic is referring to are , his comment is the best on this subject so far ;-T Dusty
So... anyone notice this Bosch unit is made in India ? ~; Dusty
I didYour point is?
Trust me, you don 't want to know what the Chinese eat!Sent from my shoe phone!
My father finally found the issue, it was a bad socket on one of the relays inside the fairing. The relays all tested fine on the bench, he even purchased new heavy duty relays from a electrical shop and nothing changed. After going through the wiring harness and testing the connectors he found the issue. I had a similar issue on the fuse block on my guzzi sport a few years back.
