RX3 clutch bearings vs AJP PR5 clutch bearings

Hello to all on this forum.

I have been working with clutch bearing problems on my 2014 Ajp Pr5. I noticed that Pr5 and RX3 shares the same engine zongshen nc250(zs177mm). Is it correct that RX3 has needle bearings between clutch basket and main shaft? Like shown on clutch assembly- topic http://www.chinariders.net/showpost....12&postcount=4.

My Ajp has just a big bushing and bronze bearing between main shaft and clutch basket.

Now just after 150h/3500km of hard driving bronze bearing is worn out and engine rattles and shakes at idle. Although I have serviced the bike well and changed oil (i-ride moto 10w50) every 350km. I'm thinking to update bronze bearing with needle bearings like on RX3, but I haven't found a correct part numbers.
I think needle bearing would be much more durable than bronze bearing.
