Posted October 27, 201212 yr I have just pulled the upper & lower triple trees off a 1998 Zeal and found the 19 ball bearing surfaces galled and coroded. Do they make Taper roller bearings for this model Zeal? RegardZ.
October 27, 201212 yr Moderator try and find out what the bike is based on. Yamaha usually use parts to interconnect with each other from the same time period. bearing factors are your friends
October 27, 201212 yr Ya, I found some parts for it on wemoto (http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/fzx_250_zeal_b_d/91-99/), but no steering head bearings... no bearings at all actually.
October 27, 201212 yr Moderator Zeal isnt sold here in the UK, what you need to find is the inside and outside diameters of the two bearings then start asking sellers to check theirs, I imagine the bearings from many bikes will share the same dimensions
October 29, 201212 yr Author Thanks guys, as Drewpy and Airhead mentioned, I was able to order a set of tapered roller bearings for the Zeal. Evidently, they are used on other Yamaha models ... XS500 and TRX something! I will post the make and part number when they come in along with their "like" machine/s. RegardZ.
