Leighio Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I need new headstock bearings though I am unsure of the bikes current size, I am after taper bearings rather than manufactures ball race. My thinking is that these items can be purchased from any supplier as long as you have the correct size for the bearings, so can anyone help please. Bike is Fireblade 929 My other thinking is that if people know of other sizes then we could list them on here for others to use. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilchicken0 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 The wemoto listing has some sizes on it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fireblade-CBR-900-929-954-93-04-Steering-Head-Bearings-/251101393972?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a76cf3434 Do you need to use my lump hammer and the new bit's for my abba stand - you can get the front stripped down with it apparently.

El Gringo Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've found this website quite helpful for bearing sizes/fork swaps http://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion You have to be a bit careful with the years across models, the US got some models later than Europe (hence why i have a set of gsxr1100 rwu racetech fork springs that i can't use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighio Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi Evil, what parts are they from abba, got a 5lb hammer and some punches to knock in the new bearings and a large screwdriver and chisel to get the old ones off. Got taught a tip a while back though to place bearings in a freezer to reduce there size or in a oven to increase depending how they are installed.

Evilchicken0 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah the freezer thing ... Doesn't work as well as you'd think. Anyway .... I've all the kit and the Abba tail things, come over I've been waiting to hit a Honda with a hammer for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
