CB400f steering head roller bearings

<< < (2/2)

Rob62:
If you still have the old roller bearing, measure the thickness of the whole thing and compare it to the overall thickness of the new bearing assembly. Then you will see if a spacer is required.

Ideally you should measure the height of the old bearing and compare with the new one to work out how thick a stem washer would need to be before you assemble.  If you assemble and trial fit, you'll have to remove the interference fit lower race from the stem to fit a washer.

I had the same problem, the M&P bearing does not come with the lower washer.. without the washer the roller bearing locates too low on the the stem and it fouls when you tighten up.  So you need a spacer, from memory its a 3mm x 30 washer basically. Pop on the shaft followed by the bearing and it basically allows it to sit higher.
