Kdx 200 E1 Triple Tree Bearings

[Matty956]

KDX 200 E1 steering bearing problem, hi everyone so ive just purchased a set of 1989 kdx 200 triple trees online complete with bearings, now ive come to fit them them bottom yoke fits nice, but the top bearing (roller tapered) doesnt seem to fit into the race at all? And sticks out way to much, to the point where i can barely get the top nut on, i was expecting the top to be a Thrust bearing instead of a taper, yet every bearing kit online seems to match what i have?

Go to the all balls web site and look up what your bike is supposed to have for bearings and compare that to what you have.

Managed to find some cheers :), it turns out the trees came with the correct bearings, but for some reason my E1 frame has the wrong upper bearing race installed (for a normal ball bearing, shame i cant find a dealer in the uk that stocks them though

Thats an odd issue.
