I'm super stoked MC Garage is going into more advanced things than oil changes and chain lube. These videos are great and describe complex subjects in ways viewers can get a overview before picking up a shop manual and doing it on their own. Keep them coming, guys!

Even if I'm not gonna do these projects I still watch the whole video they are packed with information. Thank you keep up the great videos

i fucking love MC GARAGE

Very tedious job but what a wealth of good information if one wishes to tackle such a challenging task. "Phenomenal tutorial!!!!"

You guys make the best videos! The MC Garage has given me a lot of great info, where can I get a shirt and stickers to support you guys??

Thankyou so much for this video. This is something we all need and that is a realistic idea of how this process is done. Just great actual maintenance.

You guys need to start selling some merch. I'd be keen to get a T-shirt like that one.

This looks like a job that's out of my skill level but still a fun video to watch.

I won't try this at home. Thank you very much bro, you are doing a great job

Hey, great video thanks for posting! If you could spend a little more time on properly adjusting the tension on the top bearing cup before triple tree installation I think that would really help the viewers. Improper tension would have likely led to enough play in the head tube bearings to cause the dimples in the race in the first place, so this seems like a critical step yo me. Thanks for the awesome vid! Cheers!

Attach a magnet to the outer surface of the place you stick the ball bearings to the grease in their place so they attracted to their place without falling

Keep in mind everyone: if you do have loose ball bearings and need to replace them All Balls brand bearings do offer a decent variety of upgrade kits to switch over to modern tapered roller bearings!! Also bearing packers are your best friend for tapered rollers!! 1 down 5 up Braaawwwpppp

Thank you for confirming what I thought would be what I had to do... glue the bearings back in place. I should have taken picturse of the wiring in the headlight (during removal) that's gonna be an adventure in itself. I would have liked you to show us the order of the peices (bearing caps) and any washers that need to go back in a particular order but I guess that will be obvious when I put them back together. All that said, thanks for this and now off I go. Cheers

This bike is a mess :D I would have rebuilt that already :P Thanks for the good quality video :D My steering suddenly got stiff while I was visiting a store, like somebody had tightened the nut on the steering axle or whatever.. Im gonna dissassemble tomorrow to see whats up

i love watching this channel

Good teacher young man

nice information! but do we need to do it on 2 or 3 yrs old bike?

I always learned from yall. Thanks

I would love to see a video on a valve adjustment using shims one day lol.

Which kinda grease though? Harley has its own specifically, but I've heard it's lower quality, Green grease seems to be the most common, And then high temp marine grease afterwards, Followed by regular grease, lithium, and red n tacky, But red n tacky seems to not hold up as well. So... is there a solid answer somewhere out there?

Did you end up doing a video on replacement of the bearings

Thanks for the vid. I just paid my dealer to lube my steering head bearings at the 15k mile service on my 2015 Versys 650 and rode away with several hundred fewer dollars in my pocket. The manual recommends doing this every 15k miles. Is this really needed? In the past I have only replaced my steering head bearings every 40k miles. I can't imagine the new bikes are using shoddy bearings so I'm curious if you think a replace every 40k (assuming 10k miles per year) plan would be sufficient. I honestly can't afford a $500 expense every year and a half for bearing lube. Thx in advance for your input; I'll hang up and listen now.

Any chance you guys are planing to do some tutorial about electricity in motorcycles? My wiring is giving me some headache.

I would love to gain such a confidence in dis- and reassembling my bike. For now all I am not afraid of doing is changing oil and and oil filter ._.

great how-to!

Can you make a video about steering bar types and how they effect ride and control, I have classic style naked bike, not sure what steering bar type I have, but it's going to be replaced, I wonder how their styles would feel like touring, street riding, longer, narrower and etc.

Dang was hoping to see the whole bearing and races done. Great video though.

Brilliant mate!

How often they need to be done? Or is there any sign that they need to be done? Video looks good, but looks like it not a DIY job for everyone either do not have enough skills or tools. What about newer bikes? Thanks in advance.

When you put the lower stock on was there a gap at the bottom or did the whole thing sit flush? I did mine but not sure if they went up enough in the bottom. keep up the good work.

its very informative, I have one question about, I feel my bikes neck stem is somewhat bent while riding its look like not straighten, How to adjust neck stem? it will be very helpful. I have Yamaha FZ25.

You guys should do a video on how to do a valve adjustment on say a Vstar 1300! Just saying!

Thank you!

Did you end up making a video on how to replace the steering head bearings? I need to do this on my Ninja 300 o take it in.

thank you

Super informative video! how often do you recommend lubricating the bearings?

Why not stick the bbs to the lower race instead of the shell?

sir my bike is wobbling in corner front side any help?

An other amazing video has always Ari! Can you please make a video about tyre pressures on sport bikes? Keep your awesome job

I know it's individula to a riding style and a motorcycle, but every how many km/miles should we do this if we're sporty causal (normal) riders??

Hi MC Garage, i have a Versys 650 2010 MY, lately I've been feeling some light 'clunk' as i press the front brake.. i think the front bearings might be going soon..?

Can someone refer me to the video on how to replace the bearings? Been looking for it but cant find it

Heavy duty mate :)

what is the common loose ball bearing diameter/size for steering head bearings?

Hi sir, what is the front suspension oil capacity of Suzuki Gs 150 R?

You're good man!!!

Hi my brand new motorcycle wobble in low speed also showing over weight plz Tel Suggestions

Awesome

What grease did you use

Great video. You usually mention to tighten everything to the specs in the manual, but I don't have a torque wrench. Any tips for tightening things without a torque wrench?

i would rather replace the bearing if i would need to remove all the parts. the bearing aren't that expensive either.

How hard is it the replace wheel seal on a shaft drive bike? Got a buddy with a leaky mean streak.

How about a brake master cylinder rebuild?

Is this the same with dirt bikes, I have a 2001 ttr. Is that also old enough for the loose ball bearings or is it a new enough bike that there encased?

Am I the only one that likes when he says, "lube" ? Yes, no, maybe? 😎

Do you just pump the brake lever or bleed the brakes after?

What's the difference between this and say a 2007 R1's steering head bearings job?

Any particular type of grease? Or any grease will do?

i have to do this task.I just put in a new engine.That seems easy compared to this nightmare.My bike is a restoration project that i got for 200.00 - Its a 2010 bike that sat in the rain for 3 years. I see this is going to be a royal pain in the ass. but must be done, as my steering is poor.

Why not put new ones on since you have it apart

If I had a garage I'd probably have picked apart my motorcycle piece by piece by now

How many miles are typically on a bike before this needs to be done?

Now I know why someone installed a grease zerc on my old brit bike!

and if you have a fully faired bike...this will take an additional 3 months to complete, even with caged bearings xD

Put a ratchet strap on the ceiling / handlebars, take nuts off of steering head, lift bike on jack and there you have it, access. No reason to disassemble the whole front end

was that a Honda 400 custom?

Honda NV400

Where is the next video in this series?

Has Zack failed to sell his $1000 bike or have you bought it from him ?

my bike use cone headset bearings. I ain't gonna go thru hell again just to lube it. nope, wait until it needs replacing instead

CUSTOM Sick Shit love it lol

to day is my first day to look at MC GARAGE is ok. but try to say slowly for us African. I can not understand all words

I think i will leave this to a mechanic lol

looks like a pain in the ass = job for next owner

Looks like a pain in the ass to do it every year. Maybe if people didn't beat the shit out of their motorcycles with wheelies and stuf, those bearings last a decade or more untouched.

Hahaha you guys havent sold those yet!!!

surprising this video has only half the views rest of your how-to's do. just goes to show how little people give attention to their bike! sad

1 dislike = Harley Davidson rider

Take shot every time triple clamp is said..

terrible video
