This is a GS steering stem bearing replacement.
\nShoji brought it in saying something felt off, and when I took it for a test ride\u2014
\nWow, it’s heavy! It’s interfering with self-steering.
\nIt doesn’t lock up hard in the center or anything, but the grease dries out over time.
\nSuzuki bearings in this area have cross-compatibility, so we’re installing retainer balls in this one too.
\nWe knew the bearing would fit, but I didn’t expect the top seal to work too\u2026
\nImpressive! (The OEM one is plastic)
\nIt’s incredibly smooth now \u2605 I want to do mine too!
