I read on the fz6 owners forum that the stock bearings are poor. A number of owners had repalced them with lower kms (less than 40k) on the bike. Anyone here replaced? Ungrade to tapered rollers with good results??
regder has changed his. He posted up a pictorial on sportbikes.net http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/3768397-post1.html I'm wondering, what are the clues that the bearings are shot? Sticking steering, grinding feeling, handling problems, noise...?
I have not had to replace mine, but I was told that if there is any up and down movement in the steering then they need to be replaced. There is a replacement kit from "AllBalls" bearings. available. Gamma Powersports has them, I think they are around $40. CAD Mike
