Taper roller bearings

[metalhead19]

Can anyone tell me if the SV uses these in the steering, between the tip and bottom yoke? And also if anyone can recommend somewhere to option replacement ones near Guildford.

Standard are ball-bearing not rollers. Can't help with where to get them apart from any bearing shop, but I ordered mine (replaced with tapered rollers) on ebay as they were slightly cheaper.

Good afternoon all.


As stated, the standard bearings are caged ball races. I use Honda bearings on Pointys. As, they're exactly the same bearing as Suzuki, but cheaper by a fair margin. You have to use a Suzuki top bearing on Curvy models, as they have a smaller internal diameter than the equivalent Honda part.

Alternatively, you can use tapers. The bearing numbers are; 32006 top & bottom on Pointys. 32006 bottom & 32005 top on Curvys.

I have all flavours on the shelf:D


Cheers.
