All Balls Steering Stem Bearing Kit - DS/JR80

The All Balls Racing Steering Stem Bearing Kit 22-1042 is a direct-replacement bearing kit designed to restore precise steering feel on compatible Suzuki small-displacement motorcycles, including the JR80 and DS series, as well as DR, DRZ and RM models in the 60–100cc range.

All Balls Racing specialises in OEM-replacement and upgrade bearing kits for off-road and recreational motorcycles, and this kit is engineered to match the original fitment dimensions for a straightforward installation without modification.

• Direct OEM-replacement fitment for Suzuki DS, JR80, DR, DRZ and RM 60–100cc models
• Part number 22-1042 for accurate application matching
• Restores steering precision by replacing worn stem bearings and races

Clean the steering stem and head tube thoroughly before fitting new bearings to remove old grease, dirt and corrosion.
Apply a quality waterproof or lithium-based grease to the bearing races and cones prior to installation — do not install dry.
Press or tap races squarely into the head tube using a suitable bearing driver or socket to avoid damaging the new races.
Once installed, adjust steering stem preload to achieve smooth, free movement with no notchiness or play — over-tightening the stem nut will cause premature wear.
After installation, check that handlebars turn lock-to-lock without binding before riding.
Inspect steering stem bearings periodically, particularly after hard off-road use or any immersion in water or mud.
If roughness, notchiness or looseness returns, re-grease or replace bearings promptly to prevent damage to the steering head.
Dispose of old bearings and grease according to local regulations.
