Motorcycles have become popular all over the world as a convenient means of transportation, and wherever they are found there will always be bearings rotating. Large numbers of bearings are used in motorcycles. Actual numbers vary depending on the model and other structural factors, but a single motorcycle will have around 20 to 30 bearings built in. These bearings are used in key revolving parts, supporting the vehicle’s running, including: 1. the engine2. the transmission3. the wheels4. the headrace5. the swingarm6. linkage bearing kits7. the steering… They help to reduce friction and to ensure that the motive power of the engine is reliably transmitted to the wheels. The function of motorcycle bearing mainly includes:  1. Facilitating a smooth ride due to low friction and vibration2. Ensuring durability These factors effect fuel consumption and safety, both of which have a close relationship to our lives. We are always pursuing smoothness in bearing rotation and hope that everyone will be able to enjoy smoother rides with reduced power losses. Bearings used in motorcycles require very high rigidity and excellent anti-dust characteristics because they are always exposed to dusty environments where they are subjected to shock loads at high temperatures and high speed rotation. Endurance in the face of water and mud…

It is a problem-solving method that drives systemic change, improving an entire process in order to avoid not only the problem at hand but also other issues that may stem from systemic failure. 8D has grown to be one of the most popular problem-solving methodologies used for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Services around the globe. ● Why apply 8D Problem Solving? After notification of a problem, your customer expects you to take the appropriate steps in a timely manner to resolve that problem. The quicker you address the issue, the more satisfied your customer. A thorough 8D…
