This.

It almost looks as if there's some glue on that bearing.

That part # is wrong .... it should be 61-4083 I believe (4mm ID, 8mm OD, 3mm THICK).

The latest shipment appears to have them epoxied already. But yes, please check anyway...

Yes I did put a lite touch of 5 minute epoxy similar to my logo 600

I see, I got that part number directly from the manual and was puzzled when I couldn't find it on Nankin's spares list. 61-4083 is definitely in the list, but out of stock for Nankin.

I don't know how many batches of kits there are, but I got mine 9 days ago and they certainly weren't epoxied. Very tight initial fit though. Anyway, ugh!! why the decision for epoxy, it's a lot harder than CA or goop to remove. And at 16,000 rpm those bearings are going to see more wear than the others so more frequent replacing, if you don't crash

Well, I don't know if it's epoxy or glue, but it's definitely secured in place.
