Seems like a consensus! :)

If that's the case - www.goallballs.com

Tapered-rollers are MUCH better/longer-lasting than standard ball-bearings (though torquing them properly is more critical to avoid causing too much drag).
I put those in my KTM, much better!

Yeah, 'specially in a dirt-bike, where the front gets hammered so much more.

Huh - my 450EXC had rollers from the factory though, I think (2003). Mighta been the p/o's mod though.


So triple - what have you done/found so far?

No, they were probably factory. My LC4 came with rollers, but the allballz are of a better quality, or so I was told.

Last night I propped up the front-end; no play in the steering, no side-to-side play in the front wheel. Re-torqued the steering stem nut, but it wasn't loose. It didn't occur to me until I got to work this morning to check for play in the rear wheel (especially since I adjusted the chain recently).

I haven't taken the steering stem apart yet to inspect the bearings. Perhaps I should, but it transitions from side to side smoothly and there isn't any slop.
Just a thought, did all wheel spacers get reinstalled properly, last time you got tires?
