Need Roketa steering stem bearings

Angus67 · 11-23-2017, 02:40 PM

My 2006 roketa 200gy needs new stem bearings. I cant find any stock bearings or conversion bearings. I see some that look close, and i may take a gamble on them, but if anybody here has a direct answer or link, please help.
I was hoping the 72 honda xl250 I converted would be the ones, but looking at the original races from the honda, they are too big.
The ones i see look correct b ut are listed for 150 pit bike. Could the description be wrong? Those are the ones i would be willing to gamble $10 on.

I actually just found a set of new stock races and bearings for ten on ebay, free shipping. I looked at the website you posted, but the bike it’s listed under is newer model. The set i found measures up.
Ive been searching for days, and figured as soon as i start this thred, ide find them.

Can you measure the old bearings for me? Inside diameter, outside diameter, and height. I can try and search some bearing options for you.

When you install them, I recommend that you wash out the grease that comes with them. Then re-pack them with MARINE grade grease. I buy mine from the local Evinrude dealer, but that's because I'm anal about steering head bearings. I don't like replacing them. The grease I use is salt water resistant. Wouldn't hurt to put in grease zerks while you are going through all of this. Grease is not only cheaper than bearings - - it's also a lot less work.

Thanks Ariel. I only use marine grade for all my swaps
