CONESET/STEERING STEM BEARINGS REPLACEMENT ON A HIMALAYAN- TIMKEN BEARINGS AND RACE

A detailed walkthrough of the coneset/steering stem bearing replacement on my Himalayan. This is the first time i have changed my steering stem bearings.

[@beicsconwy]

I did my own coneset/headset servicing today after watching your very informative video. Thanks so much! I also replaced the bearings with Japanese products - I chose Koyo bearings as the quality:price ratio was just right. Thanks again!

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Glad to hear that you did it yourself 😊👍

[@gurpreetgagan7671]

I had done it myself with NTN after tired from RE Guys. They changed them two time . 1st after 10000KM . 2nd after 5000km. After mine work its being 13,000km and 1year still going good without greasing it.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

It is not the fault of the SKF bearings dear brother. It is about wrong adjustments or poor maintenance habits

[@cca749]

Nice video! Great bro!

[@zedzidane]

Lovely job

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Great video, at 3:35 if I run into a stubborn race that will not come off the stem I cut them off with a Dremel tool and a tiny cutoff wheel. Cuts right through it like butter.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

yes , that is the better way . i agree.

[@ashdxbhp]

Fantastic 👍

[@Meditatingghost]

Bro what's your view on Himalayan 450

[@brucenichols9153]

Easy way to replace the cones is to put the new ones in a freezer they shrink and pop in easily, very good video well done

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Great tip! THANK YOU

[@nevillefernandes4323]

So that when it dries the frozen water will melt and create more problem

It's a whole new experience to watch ur channel am surely gonna try this...if possible can u share the link of those bearings...for the benifit of all

[@beicsconwy]

The bearings are automotive quality 30205JR/30205J KOYO Narrow Section Steering Head Set Taper Roller Bearing 25x52x16.25mm. Just find a bearing dealer and type in 30205 - this is the standard for the bearing size. I chose Japanese over any other manufacturer. Also, you should go for a Nilos seal for the lower bearing. Serial number 30205AV (Nilos Ring for 30205 Series Bearings 25x49x3.6mm) Tim

Can u please review the Amsoil that you have used recently .

[@dmagp]

You can trust Amsoil it's reliable, i use 15w60 for long rides no over heating issues, smooth gear shifts...change interval upto 8-10 depends on your riding condition

[@gabbymp5]

Total cost?

[@birimrachacheranmomin3540]

What about the AOM nylon cap you used before?? Is it not good anymore to reuse it?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

It was on a friends bike

[@vijayam1]

Wonderful job Ben. Himalayans from stock have cheaped out headstock bearings. TIMKEN and FAG are great bearings. Using good quality waterproof grease and dust cover, should make it last a long while.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

My bearings lasted 33000 kilometres only because of good maintenance habits and I for sure know that nobody understands the primary differences of an adv dual sport style motorcycle and it’s maintenance schedules. That is why so many have problems with their motorcycles .

Sir..I am having Himalayan BS6 purchased on jan2022 in 2 months 1600km driven now after first service i am getting some breaking noise on front portion from top to bottom while running on pothole but the noise is not coming when riding on speed braker and normal road however due to right side pulling issue i informed to adjust in service centre from that day the issue started ...can you please suggest how this can be resolved now i went more than three times to service centre still this issue not yet resolved 😐 they are saying in Himalayan this sound will come due to its natural bearing settings. Kindly suggest they are right or wheather they are compromising me.

[@himanshudas8653]

same problem in my himalayan... just completed 1st service, some clicking sound is coming from front when running on small potholes , I checked it with local mechanic... he said it is coming from wind shield, but i am definitely sure it is not coming from wind shield bcz I rod the bike by keeing the wind shield by one hand tightly...., something is losse in the front part, (instrument cluster or handlebar or forks... don't know 😅?)... Mr.Ben plz suggest something..

In Himalayan frequently spoilage of cone set is an engineering defect . We have permanent solution for this defect. Only one small step can permanently solve this problem. Any one who is facing this problem can come to BHOPAL.

[@felabetu7588]

They are doing it wrong way for opening the bearing n they even spoil the cap.
