Anyone got part numbers for the steering head bearings - my dealer says I have to replace the complete steering stem and I see the bearings arent listed as a seperate part no. Mines a 2001 F4 750
Your dealer is a clown - if you are looking for the OEM bearings, then ask these boys - http://www.mvagusta.net/forum/member.php?u=33205 - they are forum sponsors and do good stuff with OEM parts.
If you have a Ducati dealer near you, then the bearing used on the 916/996/998 is the same as used by MV and can be bought separately... About £9 each.
Dons.. He's correct in saying that MV do not sell these bearings seperately and they can only be bought as part of the steering tube.. Same as the hub bearing situation..
.
thanks, Im not specifically looking for OEM - will go down the Ducati track - are the rear hub bearings the same as Ducati too or not? I've had trouble sourcing them in my country.
I initally thought it may have been a clearance difference, but I did a little research and found the difference to be the R3 has a groove to fit an o-ring on the inner race and the R2 doesn't.
I can't see how the o-ring would make any difference in the steering head application.
