ok, a lot of confusion here.

 

i was told that i needed to change both the steering cone bearing as well as the wheel bearings, at a total cost of $140.

 

the wheel bearing is the one that is supposed diff size from standard wheel bearing.

 

the thing is, i noe that to check wheel bearing i should jack up front, get a fren to hold bars tight while i shake wheel from side to side and listen for a dull thudding sound. i have no jack and it never occurred to me to check anyway, so i took the guy's word for it. only on hindsight do i realize i shd get a 2nd opinion at my regular shop.

 

steering cone is the one i donno how to check and donno wat will hapen if damaged. so again i took his word for it. and again i shd go get a second opinion.

 

 

Is the supposedly bigger bearing from the rear wheel at the sprocket? Just curious

no, front wheel axle bearing

OK. Anyway, for wheel bearing, when your rim is off the bike, use your finger to turn the bearing inner race. If it doesn't feel smooth, its shot. The jacking up the bike and twisting the wheel method can only uncover severly damaged bearings.

 

For steering cone, push and pull the bike into walking speed and jam the brake. What you are looking for is a thud sound at the cone area. It is made by the steering stem hitting the bearing back and forth. That signifies a loose cone bearing. If the cone bearing is too tight, the bike will weave and steering requires more effort. To check for damaged cone bearings, jack the front of the bike up and turn the bars to and fro. It should be smooth and no "notching" should be felt. Notching is where the steering sort of detents into position and wants to stay there. Common areas where notching can be felt is when the wheel is pointing straight ahead.

 

Hope this is of use to you.

A cheap scissors jack can do wonders!

[AlvZz]

Can't be that cheap ley

 

really no joke mine was tat price only

[hockie69]

Actually, wheel bearings are factory greased and sealed. No maintenance is necessary till failure. However, you would wanna grease the dust seal and axle to prevent corrosion and ease installation/removal.

 

$140 for steering cone change is overpriced imo. Most honda bikes use the same cone bearing, even goldwing.

 

 

current ball bearing found on de RR are quite lasting & yes,it sealed.putting grease is more for maintance related.

 

as for goldwing.the bearing is the same size but the part number is different.due to the ball used were bigger for extra load(thats what i gather).base on the old GL1500.not sure abt GL1800.

You are right, the GL1500 uses different P/N bearings. Its the relatively newer bikes that use the same bearings. Most hondas now uses 91015-KT8-005 for its top bearing, including GL1800. Bottom bearing is either 91016-MR7-003 or 91016-KT8-005, with the latter being more predominant.

CBR600RR uses both 91015-KT8-005 and 91016-KT8-005. Check that they are correct b4 they install. Can buy at FJT or ask bikeshop get for you.
