Steering head bearing Rvf

Post by Cueto65 » Sun Apr 07, 2013 8:22 am

Replaced the steering head bearings in my rvf,but I'm having trouble taking any play out of the clamps and top yoke...I've taken the top yoke off that many times I'm not sure if I'm putting lock nuts and tab back together in the right sequence!!!! Any help out and photos would be fantastic... :(

Check the part diagram on cmsnl if you don't have a Haynes manual, what bearings are you using, OEM Honda or pattern taper bearings?

Also look at the service manual in the downloads section for the correct sequence etc http://www.400greybike.com/files/NC30%2 ... Manual.pdf
Assuming the RVF is similar to the VFR
