MARKETING geniuses..........who came up with the "Allballs" brand to place upon no-name, cheap substitutes made in China, often to lower standards...
Those bikes don't accumulate street-miles like a tourer or daily commuter, so your bike's allballs have no problem with durability.
oil pressure sensor wire has a round eye-type connector for a single screw.
