- 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!
How many years have you been working as a Yamaha service technician? I don't think a normal technician would do such a careful and knowledgeable job. In our country (Turkey), many authorized services are more interested in small cc motorcycles and do not know much about the detailed workmanship in larger cc motorcycles. I congratulate you.
For a few years. Awesome bikes to work on because not much breaks. haha 👍👍😂😂
Well smaller CC bikes are the same as bigger CC bikes because the mechanical stuff is identical. I don't live in Turkey so I can't really say anything about it but working on these bigger CC bikes is always a pleasure than scooter BS. 😬😬🤜🤜
@@meoffjack The number of scooters in Turkey is too high compared to the number of large motorcycles. With the scooter, their technical brains are narrowed because they do simple oil changes, filter disassembly and plug-in work more, and then when the big motorcycle comes, they cannot do a correct maintenance or repair enough. 😅😅
Keep it up because it's so fun to watch. It helps a lot with my own care.
@@bilalcandi 😁😁👍👍
Thank you for the video!
Could you please share a link on your tools (bearing drivers, crone wrench head)?
Vielen Dank :D

Nice video and very good tips! One thing though: Wouldn't it be easier and more *thoroughly* if you packed the bearing with grease before pressing it in? Cheers
I heated it up for easier installation. The grease would have melted. It doesn't matter if you pack it before or after. Cheers
😉😉👍👍🤘🤘
Hello! Great video but why did you change out the bearings? The old ones looked completely fine from the video :)
haha you are the first to notice. Yeah it was still okay but curiosity got me and I wanted to switch from normal ball bearings to roller bearings. 🤘🤘😬😬😉😉
Hey, thanks for the video and listing part numbers in the comments section. Thinking my '18 xsr700 should be identical? Does this style of bearing require the tightening, loosening, and final torque as the OEM bearings?
Hi, as shown in the video it requires you to do one "pre tightening" and then loosen it again to it's final setting. For the tapered roller bearings you cannot use the Yamaha torque values. Tapered roller bearings are tightened until you can't feel any play in the steering head anymore and then a tiny bit more. Otherwise you tighten them too much! They require way less torque than the normal ball bearings. And yes, standard MT-07 and XSR700 are identical.
Excellent video! Thank you!
you are welcome! 🤘🤘👍👍
Great video thanks will be working on my bike this week. any tools u recommend me getting to help
Are you working on a MT-07? Then I recommend the tools you see in the video. 👍😉
Mine keep losing when i tighten it
Does the steering stem has play then? If yes, tighten it more.
You made a mistake when upgrading to tapered rollers.You must put first the seal,then the washer then the bearing.The way you put the bearing in this video will wear it out prematurely because the bearing cage rubs against the seal constantly.(Even though the original setup is like this,it is for a different type of bearing).Very common mistake for a lot of Ducati folks when upgrading the bearing as well
Which washer? There was no washer. Everything was assembled correctly. Nothing touches the dust seal. If anything touches the bearing or is not installed correctly you will notice that immediately. Even if the bearing cage rubs against the dust seal, not the bearing nor the cage will wear out, but the rubber as it is softer than steel... 😂😂😂
You see me rotating the cage 26:07 on the dust seal and it moves freely without touching it. I don't know which stupid YT videos you have watched, but if you order the right parts, there's no need to put a washer under the bearing. I know at least one American fool fucking around with his tapered roller bearing and a washer but only because he either used parts out of different kits or the kit he ordered was a cheap one. Since this video I've already put 8000km on this bike and I didn't even adjust the steering head bearing after a long test ride and it still functions perfectly. I will make another video when the bike has 70k km on it. 😆🤣😂😂
@@meoffjackmy mistake,i thought i saw a washer at 24:20 but that is just the finish. Anyway,on bikes where there is a washer you have to do what i said,which is almost all Ducati's and some Japanese bikes. You can watch bradthebikeboy video on tapered roller bearings. The seals which come with All Balls kits for a lot of bikes are trash,so are the bearings,all Chinese made. Which is what most people buy unfortunately
@@TheCvac You mean this video? czcams.com/video/f08K-O0qDe0/video.html
Yeah he talks too much about obvious stuff. It's no rocket science... 😁
Do you know the size of the tool you used for the head nut?
I would have to measure it but I bought it on ebay. Maybe this helps you out:

@meoffjack thank you I just ordered one 👍🏻
Ciao , sono Roberto .
La mia Tracer 7 MY 2021 quando procedo in rettilineo ha il manubrio non in asse con la ruota anteriore e la strumentazione , hai sostituito i cuscinetti di sterzo per lo stesso problema ?
Nel tuo video al termine indichi la strumentazione , forse avevi anche tu il mio stesso problema...
Non parlo inglese ma penso che questo messaggio verrà tradotto.
Ciao, grazie.
Roberto
I Roberto. All my Yamahas had a misaligned handle bar. My Tracer 700, Tracer 900GT and my Tenere 700 all have a slightly misaligned handle bar from the factory. I have replaced the Steering head Bearings because I wanted to switch from Ball Bearings to Tapered Roller Bearings. A slightly off center handle bar is no problem, so don't worry. If you want to get your handle bar 100% straight, do what I've shown in this video. Loosen the top triple clamp bolts and give the wheel a light blow. That should fix it. 😁😁👍👍
Già fatto ...
Non ho risolto il problema...
È come se ci fosse un componente deformato , non si addrizza , vado in moto da quando ho 14 anni , ora ne ho 51 , ho avuto diverse moto ....
Sono un meccanico navale , quindi parliamo la stessa lingua ...
Ad ogni modo grazie della tua risposta.
Ciao
@@robertodeangeli6153 It must work. If not, something is crooked as you already mentioned. If you can't find the culprit, I would suggest visiting a Yamaha dealer. 😉😉🤜🤜
Ciao, lo so anche io che deve funzionare!!
Moto acquistata nuova , ho fatto subito presente del problema , qui in Italia sono rimasti pochi meccanici di Moto , dove ho acquistato la moto io i presunti meccanici sono in grado di fare solo dei cambi olio ...😢
Avvocato, lettere alla Yamaha, risultato : ZERO ...
ho scritto tramite avvocato anche in Giappone , non mi hanno neanche risposto 😢...
Ciao
Tnks from Brasil !
😅😅👍👍🤜🤜
How can you buy dust seal for lower one ?
It comes with the Koyo race.
@@meoffjack thank so u so much, dude. Could you share the part# or code for both? 😍
@@taevo2422 Upper: koyo Hi-CAP32005JR, Lower: Hi-CAP32006JR.
@@meoffjack haha, I have just bought lower bearing 🤣 no dust seal. They said original one doesn't have it
@@taevo2422 every koyo race should come with dust seal. Both of mine came with one. 😉
Hello, what is the bearing code?
Upper: koyo Hi-CAP32005JR, Lower: Hi-CAP32006JR.
@@meoffjack appreciate you making the video. The dust seal is from Yamaha?
@@RubberTyres Upper Dust seal Yamaha lower one is Koyo. cheers 🤘🤘😉😉
@@meoffjack thank you. My local bearing supplier stocks SKF bearing. The do stock dust seal off a seperate brand.
@@RubberTyres As long as these dust seals fit they should be okay.
Ok
You are welcome! 😁😁😁😁🤘🤘

Wieso baut man die guten Schulterkugellager raus,und Kegelrollenlager rein,die wegen der Keilwirkung,nicht so lange halten?.
Es ist nicht ein Grund sondern hat sogar mehrere. Alle im Video ausführlich erklärt. 😁
