Steering head stem

[stormrider]

Morning all,

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the steering head stem on my 2004 FZ6 Fazer. I'm going to renew my steering head bearings and I need to know the stem dia. so I can obtain a piece of pipe to install the lower bearing.

It's not listed in the Haynes manual, PM me you e-mail and I can point you in the direction of a service manual.

BTW the Google search function at the top right of the page is great.

Lower bearing inner diameter should be 30 mm.
I've used SKF tapered bearings you can check dimensions from part numbers:

32006X/Q (Lower)
32005X/Q (Upper)

You can also use the fork conversion finder on All Balls' website. Looks like 30mm is correct. Hope you're planning on using a press, because as I recall I had a hell of time getting it on, even with a press. I wouldn't want to try hammering it on with a piece of pipe.
