In this video, we’re doing a steering bearing head replacement on our Honda Goldwing. If you feel unusual resistance or a clicking when you turn the handlebar, that could be a sign that your bearings are worn.

This is a complicated job in part because of all of the additional parts that must be removed in order to access the steering head on a big motorcycle like the Goldwing. We’ll start by disassembling the wheel and fork assemblies before removing the instrument panel and the entire shelf. Then we’ll work on removing the steering stem and the worn bearings.

We’re using an All Balls tapered bearing kit, and John will show you how to get the bearings installed using a bearing driver set. Then we’ll put it all back together again. Then, John will show you a trick to keep both sides of the fork parallel, which is important to keep the motorcycle’s steering system from binding.
