The most "unknown" concern when upgrading steering stem bearings to tapered Timken kits

[@anglegrinder4630]

All balls now includes these washers idk if they did before,I like this guy he's thorough and I run into his vids alot when looking for technical bike stuff

[@richardpetker4337]

No they don't. Just got a new set of All Balls steering bearings for an ATC 200e Honda today [ Aug 9 2024] . Noticed the overall height was a lot taller. checked out you tube . Went to get some machine bushings and modified to fit. It is together now but overall height is about 1/4 inch higher. Had to space up the top triple clamp cover by that much. The seals may just work. Manufactures need to make a smaller bearing with exact dimensions.

[@russellhood2718]

I just asked them about it and they acted like I didn’t know what the hell I was talking about. They said I obviously have an issue with Yamaha and need to contact Yamaha about problems that they are just a parts company. This reply really aggravates me that I even purchased from them

[@Bass.Player]

In all cases that I have seen the seal has a different "land" on the stem than the bearing, the seal does not contact the bearing it seats in the frame and seals against the land below the bearing on the stem... (lower seal) The upper seal sits against the stem (inner) race.

[@marcussmith948]

The seal contacts the cup bore in the frame and touches the roller cage. I've fitted dozens and if greased the performance is excellent. There is no rotation only oscillation and the whole assembly is necely damped. This instructional is inviting people to get into trouble by reducing thread engagement and putting things out of position.

[@How2Wrench]

It's pretty hard to argue the video proof and read through the comments where others have the same issue. Your point of reduced thread engagement is super interesting when many of these kits are "taller" than stock as the timken style beaking pack is compared to lose (or caged) balls and race. We have at times simply choose not to use a conversion kit for the reason, Even the package and All Balls state is as correct. In those cases, there was such little thread available. We also are talking very small shims. If anything, installing a rubber seal dragging against the cage, concerns me that the handling of the motorcycle could (and it will) not only change the characteristics but negatively affect it.

[@anglegrinder4630]

ooooooooo....fighting words,jkjk I don't doubt,I know ppl do their work and own studys I wonder if this guy checked to see if you're right,that would be something, and a correct move

[@seanchriscraft]

That seal is intended to mate with the race, not the cage.

[@How2Wrench]

seanchriscraft Exactly but in most EVERY single kit, it is not spaced correctly and hits the cage. The entire reason I made the video. Almost EVERY time you tq things up it hit the cage, bind and cause drag or sticky spots.

[@johnkaiser4876]

Excellent video and a great point about seal spacing. I have been less enthusiastic about the All Balls kits due to material construction of the bearing and the seal clearance issues.. I'm currently sourcing some Japanese kits from NTN and Koyo to see how the seal configuration compares but over all, I think the bearing quality is better regardless.

I am glad I did mine before watching this . luckily I had no problems except snapping a screwdriver levering the bottom race out . I just got the cheapest kit of ebay . Taking panels and sorting the handlebars and electrics was the hardest part.

[@TNPerSwede]

Oh man thats a video just in time. I was just about to install this on my rebuild and was thinking why the freak the seal hindered the bearing on my all balls kit. Was gonna install it anyway, now to find some spacers:) thanks

[@derekadams3392]

I reckon All Balls have given you the wrong rubber seal for the bearings..... I have just checked the set I have here; and the inner washer part of the rubber seal bottoms out against the inner race... no matter how much you torque it down the rubber cannot touch the roller cage

[@calvinmartykleinmcfly6998]

Perfect this is what I have just described. You have to press firm but the text needs the outer race for him to text this. The seal will press against the outer seal and form a nice snug seal without intrusion. I have the same type.

[@emfl4437]

I'm not sure you are correct on this. The seal will rest against the tube, which will keep it up off the bearing cage. Drop the whole assembly in the tube and then view it.

[@How2Wrench]

@@Daveinet No worries you're unsure but it's most likely you missed key information from fast forwarding as Shane clearly shows and explains the problem.

I went to my local Yamaha dealer for a set of head stock bearings for a xvs650 hoping to get the original ball type, but they are supplying the all balls taper roller bearings too..... you would think they would be aware of this problem

[@Steve-XTC67]

Thanks for Highlighting this Shane, it seems it's happening with all "Pattern Part" suppliers, just reviewed a UK supplier (Pyramid Parts) and there are a few comments surrounding the same issue, so it would seem we either A) Buy the OEM part at an exorbitant price (no thanks) or B) Make sure you get the best fit you can, maybe utilising the old seals if possible, which isn't the answer, i know. Anyhoo thanks for the heads-up and i hope someone somewhere can rectify this issue !

[@How2Wrench]

Old seals will not help in this converstion style. It's simply a design issue as I show and the spacer is absolutely required for clearance. Some kits (many actaully) work fine but every tech (or DIY) is ultimately responsible to check fitment when using OEM or aftermarket parts. That's the skill set I try to drive home... 👍 Thank you for taking the time to comment! Hit that subscribe button if you haven’t please! It helps us! Here is a way to support all the free videos.

Torque of the after market bearings. Ball vs. tapered. Do you use factory torque settings?

[@How2Wrench]

Good question. Tapered vs. Ball are almost always different I believe. I'm really not confident to answer. But when it comes to the steering stem. There is a considerable amount "feel" and operation check steps. The torque spec is very dependant on the shaft diameter. I always tq 1/2 the spec and "feel" and keep going. Not applying enough torque could also risk the races not seating all the way too. 👍 Thank you for taking the time to comment! Hit that subscribe button if you haven’t please! It helps us!

It seems to me Shane that one should go OEM due to the variables in guessing the exact spacing on aftermarket fit. It could be too tight, or loose allowing water in.

I ran into a similar problem with my 96 fatboy pivot bearings for the rear swingarm. I bought ALL BALLS and they were a hair to wide so I couldn't put the bar in between them that the pivot bolts screwed into. And yes they were for my make and model. It had me so confused!! So I ended up buying Drag Specialties pivot bearings and they fit, thank goodness. I thought maybe my swingarm was bent but no. Not the case. So hes correct you gotta check these aftermarket parts.

I have the same bearings as these.. Of you push the seal hard enough against the outer race that seal will flare outwards , you'll get a nice seal without the rubber rubbing on the bearings. I actually found the bearing set was. perfect. Again on the seal there is a line you can clearly see. That will bend once the seal faces against the outer race. Please can you do this test again but put the outer race on and press firm. There will not be any intrusion of the seal to the bearings.

[@How2Wrench]

Feedback is always welcome. You’re year make and model may be fine but this one and others, (I just filmed a Harley with same problem) are not right. I ask you to watch the video again and the close “gap” that creates the problem. No seal should cause significant drag or bearing contact. 😊 seriously appreciate you commenting and continuing the conversation.

[@calvinmartykleinmcfly6998]

@@How2Wrench thanks Shane, I will take a real close look. I tried to creat the same problem as you showed here. And yes I do get the same issue if not using the outer race. Is when holding the bearing in to the race and the seal applied on top there is drag unless the seal is pressed firmly. I noticed that the seal flares outwards and drag is eliminated. I will go back and recheck your video. Thank you for your response.

That seal is not necessary.

Which is better ballrace or nuckle bearing ,pardon me

There are reasons for both. Most folks believe the Timpkin bearing like shown, is strongest. Want to say “thanks” or “keep it up”?

I recently installed a set of "All Balls" tapered bearings in my SR500 Yamaha The previous owner had already replaced the original bearings with tapered bearings and the outer race of the lower tapered bearing that I now needed to remove from the frame had a larger inside diameter than the original bearing would've had and so there was no lip to drift (strike) the bearing out This made it near impossible to remove the lower bearing race, I was going to weld a washer to the bottom of the bearing race but didn't for fear of badly damaging the bearing's seat in the frame I ended up grinding a thin screwdriver's blade to a sharp edge and bent it an inch or so from the tip of it's blade and managed to hammer the sharpened tip of the screwdriver between the bearing's race and it's seat in the frame and moved it enough to allow a washer to fit in between the bearing and seat and I was then able to drift this washer from above and by working the washer around the bearing I managed to remove it This caused slight damage to the seat but I was able to correct it The lower "All Balls" bearing I refitted has the same problem as the bearing I removed, no lip for future removal Another problem is these tapered bearings are apparently eight to ten millimetres taller than the height of the original bearings and this caused other problems with the way the top clamp sits relative to the steering stem After I managed to remove the tapered bearings fitted by the previous owner I should've thrown away both the old set and the new "All Balls" sets of tapered bearings and refitted a set of original races and ball bearings

Shane Conley thanks for the info, also, my bikes stem is fat on the bottom, and then it gets skinnier as it goes up. So I don't know if I need different size bearings, or the same size. The bottom of the stem is 24.01 millimeters, the middle is 22.47 millimeters, and I didn't measure the very top but it gets skinnier than the middle.

Shane great video man, not gonna dissuade me one way or the other but i love learning new things,i am restoring a 550k that was parked since 1984,some inside, some outside but more outside than inside,lol,thing is rough but my magic hands will give this bike another life in the witness protection program,ha ha ha, anyhow i am subscribed and i wanted to ask you something.... I know when people put these tapered bearings in, they freeze the cup in the freezer and Ive actually seen the cup go in 3 quarters of the way and tap the rest which is not much with a brass punch very very carefully, my question is... what if a guy had access to a big ole drum of liquid nitrogen? i actually work in a machine shop,we overhaul big engines and we use it to drop inserts on the deck of the engines after we machine bad portions of them due to erosion caused by water over the years,once those inserts are frozen they drop in there like magic,would the nitrogen hurt the cup in this application or would it be ok? Reason i ask is because the inserts we freeze are pretty good size but these cups are tiny compared to that,just curious if it could be done, thanks man for all your teachings.

Seal is no hitting cage, You have to push it down evenly, on Your wideo seal and cage is always with gap and askew. No gap, no problem, work like design.

[@How2Wrench]

Can you please review @ 4:09 and see it pushed down and hitting. If you watch the entire video, he shows it hitting when pushed down. It was noticed after the student could not get the steering not to drag no matter how loose or tight when installed. Shimming it fixed it correctly as shown. We know there are so many of these kits that work well and you believers in the product struggle with seeing this. We've only ever seen it two times and used it as a teaching lesson in looking at the details of how it's supposed to work. What do you think now?

[@aschneider93]

I bought one of these kits for a VTX1300 and I didn't have this issue. Maybe its particular bikes that do.

[@How2Wrench]

Hi Alex...You may have skipped the part in the video where he states the "most times" they are perfect.

[@AuMechanic]

Taper rollers bearings in head stem was about the worst thing to ever hit the mcycle aftermarket when I was an mc mechanic in the 70's , don't use, period - taper rollers bearing require preload resulting in braking effect at the steering head which is a great way to bring you just that much closer to owning a tank slapper special, don't ever race with them - ball bearings have precision point contact, no resistance in the steering, that's why they use them in steering heads - check them, if they are loose adjust them to just remove slack, if they are notched replace them but don't ever get the idea taper rollers bearings are a good idea - dirt bikes fine but road bikes, don't do it

[@Soulrollsdeep]

Yet millions of people are out there, riding just fine with tapered kits and not having a single issue. The bearings, their design, their usage...are not the cause of tank slapper.

[@AuMechanic]

The diff is taper rollers require a good deal of preload that puts some resistance into the steering, balls not so and run neutral that resistance can result in a shimmy of the steering head when light under power, yes you can ride out of it easily, or not if you are inexperienced, its not dissimilar to what happens if you hold the bars a little too tight and induce a tank slapper but not that profound, as for what causes tank slappers, a number of things can including simply backing off too fast at high RPM on a bike with high compression in a dead straight line, been there and done that, the tank slapper itself is just a compounding oscillation and merely the outcome of a number of factors..As for them never causing an issue, how to you arrive at that.

[@How2Wrench]

I agree. My opinion is it's because of lack of maintenance...

[@AuMechanic]

Yes that's the number one reason they use them, low maintenance, but as a mechanic my attitude to it was its a bit like car owner logic, so long as it last longer its good where bike riders are IME a bit more focused on whats best for the bike not just service costs and generally more prepared to spend time in maint and checks on their bike than most car owners and checking the steer head now and then inst so time consuming, so long as they are not allowed to run any slack they will last a very long time. But with the advent of CDI and EFI there is a good deal less tweaking and tuning to do on bikes and more riders are possibly less incline to get the tools out so often like we used to.

[@AuMechanic]

Not ball bearings.

Great channel! But, ALL BALLS are Chinese low grade products. Go oem, or go to bearing dedicated companies...

[@How2Wrench]

Why do people think allballs are quality ? Get Koyo or NTS ?

[@How2Wrench]

So agree. All Balls are cheap, convenient and have a time and place for sure. In certain applications I would not use (my track bike) and in others (small dirt bikes/atvs for example) I will.

The issue appears to be self clearing after awhile ha!

[@derekgee4223]

Turn the seal around duh

[@How2Wrench]

Thanks for commenting and adding value to our community! Well almost, you can't flip the seal "upside down" in this case as the seal would then sit outside the steering stem kneck and provide no protection to the bearing. Dirt and water would get right in and ruin both bearings in no time. Take another look. Have you subscribed yet to never miss a video? Have you seen the video playlists? Over 600 videos!

Interesting.... 25 years fixing cars and bikes... Almost always I'm using allballs for steering bearings.( especially for honda ) Never in my life encountered this problem. By the way it seems like you are trying to match the bottom seal to the top race set. Hmmmmmm Maybe you are doing this on purpose? Hmmmmmm

[@How2Wrench]

To what gain would I have to give out "fake information" Since making this video years ago, many folks have reached out saying thank you for a solution from their kit not woking (other brands too. The point of the video is to model a step one should check when installing. Like I said in the video we have used many All Ball kits with no problems as well but they provided no help or feedback except to return it. So as a tech of 25 years maybe you should think back on times that you appreciated "learning a tip". Here is my suggestion for you: You can find what you need here: amzn.to/3a3Xwsn 😆🤣

[@How2Wrench]

You could also read the other comments people posting finding similar results. I am still irritated from your insultive suggestion. You did know research on our channel or reputation. Nor did you respond. Behavior like this does not fit our community and best of luck elsewhere.
