Thanks for the vid. A 4mm punch works really well for removing the bottom bearing. Great tip on the freezer.

Thanks, gonna change on my husqvarna nuda and its basiclly a gs800 so this video was very helpfull.

Great stuff - thanks guys, about to try and do this myself in Honduras, searched it on google and up pops Jason haha, hope you guys are well---

hey man. i just got some new bearings to do this. great video. i feel much more prepared about doing this myself now. i'm curious what temperature you heated the bearings to in the oven? ha! great idea. i just don't want to over due it. i have a 2010 with 20xxx and my bearings have an extremely bad hitch in them as i pass the handlebars through being straight. it has made for some pretty uncomfortable cornering situations. thanks BMW!

Good shout on the tyre lever for tapping the bearings out. I'm baffled as to why you wouldn't take 60 seconds to take the bottom triple free off the forks though. My F650GS twin bearings lasted an amazing 25,000 miles before giving up. The bottom bearing was rusted to buggery, BMW should have put a proper grease seal down there.

Hey, thanks a lot for the video!, out of curiosity: 1. how many miles/km did the bearings last? 2. why where you saying they where crap? (the original BMW ones) 3. did you got any NGK, Koyo bearings that replace the OEM ones?. Thanks a lot :)

Thanks for the video and the tip of the Allen key

A few years old but great video..

All Balls Racing makes a replacement set of bearings part # 22-1044 for less than $25 USD. I can't attest to the quality but they're probably as good as the BMW bearings.

Hello Thanks for your video. I have a F700gs 2013. Do you know where can I buy my bearings? Or what is the model? Thank you.

How do you know the steering head bearings are bad? What are the symptoms?

Sir I had a problem after changing the bearing and assembling it back again The lock is jammed,and the handlebar is stuck on the left.i don't know what to do and if these two things had any relationship. I can't unlock the bike

Also, a fleet owner adds grease fittings c 3 cm below the top and above the bottom race. Greases every 10k km until great exits the dust seals and no more problems till the motorcycles are sold at 60-100k km. His bearings typically fail 20-40k km, at which time he adds the grease fittings (and new bearings, of course)

Just done mine didn't take any plastic or ign switch off though. Wish I'd seen the 2 holes under bottom yoke mind. Had to grind the bottom race till it cracked and shifted

how did you take bmw plastic emblem off under handle? u skiped it on this video.

1narrow- The rider was kind enough to Both film and upload AND write an intro.

No warranty? 3 years 30k? I tightened mine a we bit at first oil change......

you ruined the beraing punching with the cisel, usa a tube por pushh even

Should always grease bottom bearing before fitting as once fitted you cant grease under neath it but good video apart from this

and you need to remove the forks completly, I have the bmw service manual and you ate wrong

they make a tool for this...
