Bearings supplier Koyo has launched a campaign warning about the dangers of incorrect online listings of its product.
In a statement to dealers, Koyo (UK) Ltd said: “We have been made aware of a disturbing trend that we would like to highlight. There has been a surge of cross-reference data appearing on many sites with Koyo products listed. We would like to bring your attention to the fact that many of these are listed incorrectly.
“The incorrect selection of bearings could cause significant damage to a customer’s machine and could be potentially fatal to the rider and other road-users.”
Koyo, which has six official stockists in the UK, advises dealers: “While performing your searches online, we would strongly recommend that you only purchase your Koyo product from reputable stores or those that are official Koyo resellers.”
