Mine's doing the old clunk click over bumps and feels a bit loose. I had it in to the local Yamaha dealer for a TPS recall and just out of curiosity asked them how much to replace steering head bearings. The stock bearings alone (which as we know weren't much good) came to £100 odd. Add labour and VAT and it was just shy of £300.
I've seen US members post about the All Ballz bearing kit, and have found a UK supplier here: All Balls Bearings & Seals from Apico/Vesty UK Motocross Parts & Clothing Distributors
I can't see the exact FZ6 kit in their parts catalogue, but general steering bearings upper and lower come to £29.99. I reckon my local bike workshop would fit it for a lot less than the main dealers as well.
So has anyone had their steering head bearings replaced? If so, what did you use, and how much were you quoted?
