Headstock bearing - SV650.org

31-05-15, 07:41 AM

I have a replacement bottom yoke for my SV but the bearings on it are different. The bearings are ball race bearings whereas the bearing on my headstock is a roller bearing. Ive searched Suzuki parts and cannot find these roller bearings. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this as its not as easy to change the lower bearing because the bearing guide in the frame is for a roller type not ball race. cheer

OEM are ball bearings, but most upgrade to taper rollers when changing bearings.

wemoto sell them, and i think they state the bearing size

Good morning.

For your information. Koyo taper bearings are about the best that I've found. The Koyo Bearing code you need is; 32006JRRS. This has a built in seal.
If you have a curvy model the top bearing is a 32005. If you have a pointy model it's a 32006.

Cheers.
