STEERING-HEAD BEARINGS

Sooner or later, even the best steering head bearing will wear out and needs to be replaced, especially if defects are found during a service or annual safety inspection, if not before. You can opt for an expensive original bearing or a more affordable Louis bearing. Steering head bearings from Louis are the same high quality because they're produced by a leading bearing manufacturer (global OEM supplier).

Any motorcycle workshop will be happy to replace steering head tapered roller bearings. But it's also a job that you can do yourself if you're a reasonably adept DIY mechanic and have a copy of the Louis DIY mechanic manual to guide you. If you don't have both of these, it's best to leave the steering head bearing well alone. Remember: Take special care when driving in the new steering head tapered bearing.

The tapered roller bearings are always supplied as a complete set as required for your particular motorcycle model.
