I explain about the below e-mail from Miyabe san @ KYBJ sales.
This is about DUCATI 1107 RCU.
According to KYBJ information, DUCATI got market information that some of their users find the defect on the rubber bush in upper eye.
(rubber bush cracking)
This is not the KYBT's quality problem but the problem in KYBJ design.
==> KYBJ design should have chosen the higher degree of hardness rubber bush.
For this problem, KYBJ is studying countermeasure spec now.
They will send the drawing for quotation to KYBT shortly.
Once KYBT receive the drawing from KYBJ, we will issue QRS.
Then, KYBT will send quotation to KYBJ and KYBJ will send our quotation to DUCATI Italy.
In addition, we have other problem regarding this matter.
Currently, for DUCATI 1107, KYBT is supplying RCU and KYB Taiwan is supplying upside down FF.
DUCATI Italy ask not only KYBJ but also KYB Taiwan to study counter measure for RCU problem.
If DUCATI Italy prefer KYB Taiwan's spec and price to KYBT's, DUCATI Italy will select KYB Taiwan as a supplier of RCU.
That means KYBT will lose DUCATI business in next year.
For this problem, Chino san is contacting with KYBJ and not yet have conclusion.
For your information.
