what a terriffic Intro Andy, Greetings and welcome sir, I had an nsu quicky wreck when I was a kid too, never rode it but had the engine clamped in a vise in the shed, just used to start it up right there and lift the carb slide with a screwdriver to fiill the outbuilding with sound and smoke.. well it kept me amused for a while Those things held the moped speed record for many years, I remember being somewhat impressed by the chrome bore

thats not good! The castle nut should be pretty much filled with the stem thread The old seal fits around the shoulder doesnt it, thats why you gan a bit extra there. are both the new seals the same with the same sized holes through them? of course if you rough it together with no seals you should have lots of stem thread available...if not then the bearings are no good! ?

DT 175 steering bearing issues ......aarghhh
see this Sam http://www.triumphra...rk-springs.htm and taken from the above link, you can definitely see the seal hollow side uppermost...and the bearing being driven down onto it

Looking again at the photo I cant make ou whether you have fitted TWO seals below the roller cage?, surely there should be only one at the bottom and one at the top bearing, bottom bearing seal flat side down and top seat flat side up...does that make any sense? I can definitely see a seal flat side up in the photo...wrong!...and it looks to be on top of another?

Cant see it right that the bearing sits on the seal! thats why your yoke stem isnt going high enough into the top yoke, theres something wrong with the way you are assembling it and Yamaha never fitted these in the first place so dont hold your breath there!, seiously if you cant resolve this you may have to consider leaving out the seal...at least for now?

DT 175 steering bearing issues ......aarghhh
I'm baffled by this Sam and think that you have hit on it with that question. Its years since I fitted mine and i'm not about to strip the bugger down to find out I would say the fixed bearing should fit directly on the bottom yoke yes werent there any instructions? what size hole is in that seal...too small to go around the fixed race? could it be that the seal goes over the top of the fixed race? post some piccies of all the bits

Question On Yamaha Chappy Exaust Silencer!
yeah leave it on, perhaps treat the old silencer to a facelift, a lick of paint and some fresh silencer packing, will look better and should improve performance a little
