Following a regular service, I've just been told that the head race bearings will need replacing soon. :(
Has anybody done this themselves? If so, how difficult is it and are any special tools needed?
Hi,
what exactly are "head race bearings"??
greets
Axman
Hi Axman, I think they mean the bearings at the top of the forks, just below the handlebars.
They said the steering may become 'notchy' as the bearings became flattened.
Axel,
;)
He means the Steering Parts,respectively the Bearings for that.
take a look ;)
