Picked up my new upper steering head bearing for my 06 YZ-250. As I was told the replacement part is a better design than the original as it has a rubber seal at the top to prevent dust and dirt getting down into the rollers like what happened to mine.
I've decided to replace the bearing race in the steering head as the new bearing came with one and in looking at the original (and giving it the fingernail test) I can see and feel some pitting where the dirt was.
I will be installing it tonight; but was wondering if anyone has replaced the race in the aluminum frame (05/06/07) yet and how difficult it is to tap it out, last one I did was a steel frame in the late 1980's??
