No thank you. Mine is running just fine. That's odd he has Chinese bearings. Mine are all Japanese. Not only that but when I replaced the drive belt I discovered it was a Japanese Bando Kevlar belt. Maybe in the years before mine they didn't use quality units. I've seen the inside of my case when I did the transmission shaft. It's built the same as a Honda Big Ruckus and reinforced fairly well. He must have gotten a bad one. Fortunately mine isn't. It was the last year they built the Fashion for mine (2009) so they must have gotten the bugs out.

Sorry about your friend. His experience isn't normal.
