In this video I'm showing you how to replace the Steering Head Bearings of a Yamaha MT-07 & Tracer 700 model from Ball Bearings to Tapered Roller Bearings. I hope you enjoy the video!
Tapered Roller Bearings are generally stronger and last longer than Ball Bearings. In this case, they have also another advantage. Because of the bigger Races, they are easier to remove from the Steering Head. ;)
Tip if you need to weld a washer to a race: Tack them evenly around so you can punch them out at least on two sides to prevent the Race from tilting inside the Steering Head and jamming up. In this case I was lucky. The Race broke (can be seen in the video) and it lost its outward pressure and could be punched out from one side only. Otherwise a damaged Steering Head could be the result. So take care!
