Top / bottom yoke race advice
Davelu88:
Thx for all the advice , I do like the sound of the captive ball ones on ebay .
Bryan do these ones come complete with the races etc .
Oddjob:
I seem to recall I measured the spacer I had fitted and it was indeed 3mm thick.
I'll see if I can find my old tapers and check the markings on them, I fitted them in the late 70s or early 80s when they knew what they were doing. They fitted perfectly and I was thinking of refitting them again as they are still in perfect nick.
My experience of captive ball races hasn't been good, my CB1300 has them fitted as standard and last weekend I removed them and fitted tapers in their place. One side of all the bearings was worn and the other side has surface rust, I think they don't rotate the same as normal loose bearings. All the races had pits where the bearings sat.
Davelu88:
What am I doing wrong , I have fitted top and bottom races and I'm sure they are seated all the way in , but when I screw down the top dust cover I cannot get it tight enough to stop the yoke from moving up and down . Help please it's driving me nuts
Sesman:
Are they taper rollers?
Oddjob:
Remove the yokes, take some pics and post them on here so we can see if we can spot something wrong.
