Steering Bearing

(1/3) > >>

Saesneg Shaun:
I had the front end off the ground on my k6 to investigate a dragging brake.
I noticed with no weight on the steering it seems to lock into a straight ahead position and a slight resistance to move to the left or right.
I'm assuming this isn't normal and indicates worn steering head bearings?

Who sells replacement bearings, DSS doesn't seem to stock them?

Bryanj:
DS does sell both original type kits and taper roller replacements also kits on ebay

Saesneg Shaun:
Thanks Bryan. Don't know how I missed them but found them now. Are taper bearings the way to go?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Pyramid do a decent set of honda taper roller kits.

Laverda Dave:
Be careful with taper roller kits, a few members on this forum (including me) have had clearance issues with these kits especially the top taper bearing that protudes above the top of the headstock making it difficult to obtain enough thread on the steering stem for the steering nut.
There are are a number of posts on this subject if you do a search.
The above is certainly the case on the 400, the 750 may not suffer the same issues, maybe someone who has fitted such a kit to the 750 can confirm.
