bearing

What does everyone used to install the bearing on the steering shaft? I was thinking about getting some pipe but I'm open to suggestions. Cheers. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Got this off VmaxChat: http://vmaxchat.yuku.com/topic/19703/Clutch-And-Front-Brake-Lever-Bearings#.VyK2NlbwHHZ There was a mod here on the forum (it came from another forum) that used a needle bearing to be pressed into a modified clutch lever and machine the pivot pin bolt...

Rebulding the engine and need to repace crank bearings. I'm reading J1 J2 J3 J4 on the crank 2332 and on the case just one number 3. Guess that means 3 for all For all case journals. If i do the calculation i would get 0 for J2 J3 bearings . What color should I use ?

I received my nice new Shinko 230 (170) tire and am planning to try and mount it myself. I found the thread concerning rear tire removal and don't think I'll have any issues getting the wheel off. What I was wondering about was greasing the bearings. My MAX has 19K miles and I've owned if for...

So I shamefully laid the bike down the other day. Only thing that got hurt was my pride, engine bars, and my shift lever. I don't have the tools to bend it back into place so I ordered another. Thought I'd start early and remove the bent one and found out it's never that easy. Lo and *******...

I was checking out youtube videos watching bikes being, fixed, race ect.. and in the corner column was this video. I know how to tighten the bearings my self but thought what a great way to explain to someone on how to check who does not know. Good job Sean:punk...

Ok so I heard some strange noises behind the shifter side cover I take it off and find 3 of the counter sunk bolts heads broken off and just laying in there with one retainer completely off and only one bolt holding the other retainer. This ever happened to anyone before?

I just completed a rebuild of my '06 water pump. I followed the shop manual and the great photo step by step posted on this forum. I have a couple of questions for others that have completed this task. In the '01-'06 Service Manual, Water Pump Assembly section, it states gently tap the bearing...

Hi, I'm in the process of lowering my bike, so i bought some steering head bearings to. But is there any actual benefit of replacing the steering head bearings when the one currently in are fine? Thanks!

OK, know this has featured before, so apologies, but an associated query. Acquired a rear wheel with an hardly worn tyre at a very good price. However, knowing the wheel had stood for some time, decided attention beyond cleaning made sense. Replacing wheel bearings and seals seems sensible...

I didn't have much knowledge about Vmax specific techs like 15" rim with massive bias tyre when I bought the bike. After reading much wheel/tyre discussion on this forum I discovered that the rear tyre on my Vmax is actually 150/70 ZR17 size that I considered a bonus which was never mentioned in...

O.K. Here goes my first attempt at posting a thread to help others if they find themselves wanting or needing to replace the bearings in the steering neck. First off, I did this in my carport in about 6 hours over 2 days. I had to borrow a spanner wrench so I could set the bearings, more on that...

link: http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0269/ pic: I've had this remover for a few months now and honestly it makes removing bearings super easy. Used it effortlessly on a vstrom, ducati, vmax (front) and hawk GT wheels. Only had one bearing I couldn't do but when i went to...

So, quick question here: has anyone ever had a final drive bearing go bad? The reason I'm asking is because when I put my max on the center stand and rotate the tire it's rather hard to rotate and you can hear what definitely sounds like a bad bearing. I know it is not the wheel bearing as I...

After years of installing bearing races using a bearing driver and hammer, only to end up with cocked [lower] bearing races and burrs inside the steering head, I decided to invest in the following tools: Park Tool HHP-2 Headset Press. Park Tool CRS-2M Steering Stem Bearing...

Hi all, just would ike to pick your brains.... I'm about to tackle the steering head bearing on my 88 Vmax. I have the workshop manual and I'm curious what the torque settings in the table (shown) mean? Torque setting says - The Steering stem lower ring nut - First stage says 50nM.... then...

Hey guys I have a 17" rear wheel I'm trying to replace the bearings in, however, one of the OEM bearings is too large for the hub I have. I ordered bearings for my 2007. The wheel I bought was advertised as a kosmann, even though I think its a cycle one off based on looks. 3 spokes and a welded...

Like to know which bearing is the thickest ? I check the manuel is start from 1-6 Blue,Black,Brown,green Yellow,Pink. Brown and green is the middle size?

did the rear wheel needle bearing inner race change length at some time on the run of vmaxs? working on a old kosman rear wheel and the inner race is 35mm long. i had a spare one sitting on my shelf which was 32mm long. did the inner tube maybe change at some point? i gotta imagine the...

I have a worn crank bearing that I want to replace, how do you know what part to order?? Luckily this one had some green left on one side so I knew it was a size 4 It's also easy to calculate from the markings and stamps as follows Take the frame markings (on one of the front bosses) and...
