Parts that are worth replacing even in NORMAL.
The handling felt heavy and a bit unmanageable, so I took it to a Motorcycle shop for a checkup.
→Steering's diagnosis was that the Ball in the Bearing was crushed. 。
It is a weak point for the SR400's OEMBearing 。
[Type of SR400OEMSteeringBearing.
...depending on the year Ball type When Angular Type." but both have low resistance but poor rigidity due to point contact.
The angularity used in older models is somewhat better than the normal Ball, but I am still concerned about rigidity.
TaperBearing was then recommended to us.
TaperBearing.
Tapered roller bearings are bearings with a structure that can receive loads generated by rotation (struss load) and axial loads (radial load). 。 The rigidity is increased to accommodate each load.
examples showing the use (of a word) : Tapered Roller Bearings are used for axles, Engine, etc. →Seems to be rigid.
TaperBearing or ball bearing?
Ball bearing→* that which the rolling element is a ball. Ball bearing (Ball bearings)
Roller bearing. (Roller bearings)
Rolling elements are balls or rollers that are incorporated inside the bearing.
[Merit of TaperBearing
◎Handling is prone to rattling under severe use at high speeds, such as on highways and circuits.
Ball bearing→ ball-shaped, so it is weak under load and crushed.
TaperBearing→ Loads are taken up by the "wire" of the Needle, resulting in a larger bearing area, improved durability, and smoother handling. 。
In other words, the load is received in a line→ The load flows as it is because the load direction is a single line.
Effect after replacement
◎I could feel less shaking of the handlebar at high speeds, and could sense that stability had improved.
◎SelfStir can be easily taken out. as Image, put the one in the direction you want to turn lightly, and Image turns smoothly.
◎Push walking became somewhat easier.
By changing to this, we were able to experience an increase in rigidity.
The difference is especially noticeable at high speeds and in situations where the front load increases, such as when driving at high speeds and in situations where the front load increases due to winding.
TaperBearing is a good thing, but it also has its weak points.
[Weaknesses
Due to the increased resistance caused by the surface contact, it is not good in the speed range from very low speeds to street level speeds.
The lightness of the OEM is slightly outweighed by the lightness of the OEM.
Considering MaintenanceCycle and Cost performance, if you judge overall, I think OEM Angular is a good choice for those who ride Main in the city. For those who want to enjoy touring and winding with high speed driving in mind, we definitely recommend the Taper.
*It is better to have the replacement done at a Motorcycle shop if at all possible.

Mounted on ZZr250
Mounted on ZZr250
SelfStir was a tough car model,
After replacing it with this one, that has been alleviated.
I guess it is a standard Custom for ZZr250.

Satisfied
Used for YamahaRZ250R I had a rattle in my handlebar that could not be fixed by adjustment, so I decided to go with TaperBearing because OEM is ball bearing and it is more expensive. ??They are the best. ??Most old cars have ball bearings, so it is worth it to switch to Taper. It can be used on many different types of cars. If you feel something is wrong with your handling, you should change to Taper. ?? View detail
SEROW225 1KH Changed from ball bearing to taper bearing
SEROW225 1KH I was able to change from ball bearing to taper bearing and I am satisfied with the Large change.
I was able to find old SEROW parts in high quality and Large was very helpful.

NSR250R steering taper bearing replacement
The OEM and Bearing specs have been changed, and the area of contact between the OEM and Bearing has been increased, so I feel like there is more information. It was a little noisy on rough surfaces, but I am satisfied with the result because of the increased rigidity. View detail
