Hi has anyone had this issue seems brizzare i sent many many
Items from usa nz post youshop. and the silly yanks
are saying my brand new xr 200 r crankshaft bearings.
cant be sent via youshop as they are dangerous .but they can either through them away doing me this amazing favour. and wasting my money , or send it back to the web site i brought them from. i admit i was surprised they seemed to be packed with grease in the picture , and that is petroium product.
i brought from nmdbearings.com . assume they have to send beraings all round the world what gives.
http://nmdbearings.com/products-page/motorcycle-bearings/honda-xr-200-250-crankshaft-crank-bearings/
I going through a process know with nz post . might have to look at another resender becuase this is just daft.
I just need these parts to get my engine toghter and going.

This came up on a BMW airhead site, over zealous Homeland Security opened packets from the UK containing.....ball bearings.
You would think common sense would prevail but currently not a US strong point.

I have to ask - why the hell are you buying simple crank bearings via the internet ? Are you bedridden ?
There's got to be at least three bearing supply joints in palmy - and the costs of buying locally are insignificant in this case surely ?

So it can dislodge and block a oil gallery?
It's a good question.

Because they're an over the counter standard size bearing made and sold in the thousands and pre packed....
I'd suspect genuine OE Honda would come nearly dry.

It'll be the right bearing - but probably a worn crank. It happens with those....
And yes, some Honda stuff is odd and Honda specific. The trick is in knowing which is which. And what can be adapted.
I'd suggest a pushbike....

No-one left in NZ ? Last one I had done was a guy local to me who still does vintage cars and aircraft - but had to be persuaded to do a bike mag.
He doesn't want to do them cos they're crap quality compared to his usual fare.

My freind was thinking of getting a old machine from a local guy but deciced agsint it. its alot of work to manually rewind them.
it can be done but my freind advisded me agsint it. knowing my skills ;-) i found a place for the wire . but even the milo sheets are expensive that are the insulators on the ends.
i dont know about mags but i brought and shiped stators.
of course they have no magnets .
I just read a bs email from Nz post why they cant ship my pre greased bearings . apprently its becuase there you shop items.
oh i just paste what they said . needless to say i wont be dealing with them once the 3 times i have in there warehouses are sent.

Our YouShop team has advised that your parcel contains '2 PRE-GREASED BEARINGS', which are classed as flammable.
As this item is hazardous, it requires special transportation requirements our YouShop service does not provide. This is because our parcels are shipped in the cargo hold of passenger aircrafts as opposed to dedicated freight only carriers.
In cases like these where the item is leaking or has any vapours or residue on it, the merchant needs to ensure the item has been completely purged of all liquid or gaseous fuel, including residue and vapours, prior to shipping. The US team would also require a purge certificate from the merchant to verify this.
You will need to request through your YouShop account how you would like your item to be processed. You may opt to have the item returned, diverted or disposed of by our YouShop team.
Please be aware that if there is no prepaid return label for the parcel, you will bare the cost of the return or divert, which is 50% of the postage to NZ. Please contact the merchant to provide a return label for your parcel if you do not wish to pay the cost.
We apologise that we are unable to forward this item to you, and recommend you check our Terms and Conditions prior to sending anything to one of our YouShop warehouses.

I was talking to Paul Greet last weekend and he has set himself up to rewind/rebuild magnetos. Using Argon as an inert gas in the rewind process and manages to get more wire on the armatures so giving a better spark at low revs (kick-starting). This helps our old pommie bikes, especially on Velocettes with their lower kick/spin ratio. Have yet to see his product but he's a sparkie by trade and sounds like he knows what he's on about. He has also been talking to a friend of mine in Australia, Neil Thirle at TT Enterprises who I know does a bloody good job. I guess Neil is who you referred to Spyda? PM me for Paul's contact details. Cheers Nev.

I've pretty much got bored of going to the local bearing retailers. They can all go out of business for all I care. Saeco I'd been going to for over 20 years but the prices got silly so they can offer their big customers 80% discount and tradies 60% but they seem keen to fuck over the public with stupidly inflated prices and no discount . Fuck em I say.

Motor parts are clearly listed, with strict rules around their import/export.
I found that firearm parts are a great deal easier to get from the USA, which is strange :shit:
I used to use www.buyusa.co.nz, however YOUSHOP made it too tough for them, so they are no longer in business.

I had no idea they suggested i look at the baned list but i looked when i joined you shop for that very reason.
I of course no gasoline or aerosols ;-)
what u said made me more determined to quit you shop.
That and they sent me emails saying hurry up and pay after 2 weeks, i spent 2 grand with them . and i knew where cheaper options but wanted to support nz company.
Mind you know matter it goes though them anyways weather its dhl or fed ex. i really impressed with fed ex .
considering how much volume they must have there systems are spot on esp for tracking amazing. nz post are exellent too.

I never had any trouble so far brought in a gearbox cluster.
with main saft lay and all the gears complete . second hand in
a carboard tube .
I always describe what each part is my end .
Maybe Ignorance is bless but i have looked at all the docs from fed ex nz post.
No detail on automotive parts on the obvious . petrol . they chould be alot better.

Update as on today . 24/01/18
There here Via Stacky in the us no issues whats so ever just sent no fuss ;-)
Both Packets where opened one bearing seal was broken . to check the Items the first time .
cant see what the issue was . unless they send items in a non passenger luggage baggage part of the plane was sent dhl second time .
well i just change my biz to Stacky insteed of youshop as there customer service was very poor . email only . and offerred nothing.
Even though spent over 1000 with them .
trouble is nz post staff are fantasic esp the Couier drivers so i problerly use both .
The stacky is more expensive but you can get them to merge serval packages into the one. so if sending one i use you shop.
and more stacky .

Re the excuses given for not freighting.
Everything is flammable, the Auckland Harbour Bridge will burn if heated to a high enough temperature. Flammable in transport terms usually means something with a flash point over 60 or 90 deg C.
Greases usually contain a Group II mineral oil component, and the grease will have a flash point of around 280- deg C. That means the grease will ignite if held in an enclosed space at 280 deg C, then exposed to a naked flame. If the airline is expecting those conditions then I'd suggest a different carrier whose plane isn't going to burn up because its made of aluminium.

U dont even know me . So who cares not me . I was just updating .
The tiny amount of grease its not a issue . Like i said grease in the aircraft .
Ur bit behind the times plastic carbon the new materials the started to use on aircraft . It mean they can pump in more air into the cabins .
