Grasshopper Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Bearing With My Himalayan - Part 2 - Fork Removal The time has come to change the front steering bearings in Bagheera, my 2019 Royal Enfield Himalayan. Bagheera has 6000km on him and that might seem early for a bearing change, but I believe the conditions I ride in can wear things out on the bike a bit faster. It's a great opportunity to learn more about my bike and as usual things never go according to plan, so this has turned into a multi-part video. In this episode we remove the forks and the steering stem while sharing some casual garage chit-chat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Excellent stuff @Grasshopper's Ride that tool sure beats my steel bar and hammer. The one for removing the steering stem bearing is something i can easily make but until i saw it i hadn't thought of it so simple. It was a pleasure seeing you handle those tools for the first time you looked very competent you could learn from this @XTreme 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work @Grasshopper's Ride fixing things myself always gives me a good feeling of achievement. I've found a copper/hide mallet a much better tool than a rubber mallet for hitting things 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I've never seen a tool for inserting the outer races like that. The norm is a bush sitting in the race but with a lip to sit on the top of the race, if that makes sense. Looks like what you were using was to small for the job? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean looked like the driving head is a little too small for the job and pushing the bearing in on the taper part rather than the top of the bearing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look strange in the video, but it was the right size and did work out. I know my tool sizes, don't worry! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 A Frosty February Ride on Royal Enfield Himalayans With Bagheera all fixed up and running well we decided to explore the back roads on a frosty Friday in February. The sun was out but it was just above freezing. The gravel roads were nicely frozen and fun to ride on. The forest was quiet and sleepy. Such a lovely day for a ride. My fingers on the other hand, well both for that matter...lol, were very unhappy. Please understand, I know there are ways to warm your hands while riding. I just don't have any of those options at the moment, so I figure, it is all part of the fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
