April 15, 200917 yr Hi there ive noticed that there is slight movement on the front forks (steering )play when i pull the front wheel,while holding the bike. Does this mean a bearing as gone ? or it needs an adjustment ? If i do require bearings can anyone tell me the size that i need. Thanks Dave. cheers.

You may just need to lube and adjust the bearings. The lower bearing is what takes the weight of the bike so it will probably need the most cleaning and grease. Service them first and if you find you need new bearings (usually just the lower one) I think the 03' has the steel steering shaft, which is Timkin "X30203" (GasGas part # is C140200), but if you happen to have the later model aluminum, larger shaft, that bearing # is "32004X". It's always good to replace the o-rings in the headstock if you replace the bearings. Jon
