This got covered a few years ago when Ernie had several fail. The modern KTM125/150 top end bearing is the exact same size, I'll never buy a bearing anywhere else.

I don't recall, the best one for racing is the oem smooth (no raises) black cage type, or said above . The CJ is fine for easy riding ,show or a pinkie ring .

China, the land of 'almost right'. Condolences. We've all been there, or will be sooner or later for lack of options.  Nasty slap..,  Fred

postscript: That's a disturbing/sobering pic. I have a 1251/5A to     rebuild.
