'97 Techno Steering Bearings Replacement

Featured Replies

G'Day Folks,

Just bought a '97 Beta Techno 250 and as one does after buying a used bike....started to give her the once over maintenance treatment to make sure all is okay..

Just pulled off the steering head and unfortunately both steering bearings are pretty worn and sick looking...so, time for replacing..

Problem is, I can see the brand of the bearing..being KOYO...but I cannot see a model number....can anyone enlighten me as to what I am to ask for over the counter at my local bearing supplier??

The Beta Manual nor parts catalogue does not tell you what the brand/model number is of these bearings!!

Another question as well... the bottom bearing appears to be seized on the shaft....any suggestions how I can get this off without damaging anything??

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers!

Are both bearings the same ? if so take one as a sample and the bearing shop should be able to match it for you. Personally I would use a grinder (very carefully) if the bearing is well siezed.
