Hi all
I am trying to fit a GSXR 600 front end the the xs but wondering which bearings I will need as GSXR bearings don't marry with XS bearing races , at £20 a pair I don't want 5 sets of useless bearings so I'm interested if somebody who has done this before can help ?

Regards sparky
 
The problem I have terry is that the bottom race sizes on xs650 and gsxr seem to be the same the top however is different sizes , need someone who has fitted this front end to give advice as throwing money at bearings ain't a solution as yet , regards mark
 
Hi Mark AKA sparky
i fitted the the xs stem into the gsx bottom bracket then you can use the same xs bearings to suit. ive also done a gsxr600 conversion
 
Hi shifty , so I gather a press is needed which I happen to have to swap the stems ? Are they the same diameter at the bottom then ?
So bearings wise if I buy new taper bearings to suit an xs and swap the steps that should do it ?
