Re: Ceramic Bearings
Heres the reply I recieved from them

Thank you for your inquiry. Are you looking for wheel bearings and / or steering bearings? If so, we have both in stock. Front wheel bearing and seal kit (premium Japanese - not Chinese like the rest) is $33.00. The rear kit (3 bearings and two seals) is $49.00. The tapered roller steering head bearing upgrade kit is $53.00.
We also have the wheel bearings in ceramic if you are interested. Thanks!.

Best Regards,

Charlie Rowlett
CBR Bearing Co.

forget that Alex there told me 929/954 only, don't think they have F4i stuff.....but if you got a 954 front end you're set. Wouldn't think you would need in in the rear

Re: Ceramic Bearings
Since ya'll are on the subject, sort of. I am curious if I have f'd up my steering bearings?

When I go forward and hit the front brake it pops in the front end, if I go forward again and do the same ...nothing. But if I go backwards and grab front brake it will pop again, but not on the second time. Only the first time in either direction, when I stop the momentum??
It feels ok when I turn the bars, but I dunno' I have set a couple of wheelies down pretty hard trying to learn 12's/slow **** lately with stock gears.

Anybody know if I can tighten this up, or is that a sign of bearings being flat?

pull your top triple and check to see if the nuts you adjust with spanner wrenches are loose or not....more than likely your steering head bearings are loose, don't over tighten em tho

or not....I use a rubber mallet and a punch to lightly hit the nuts to tighten them until they are snug, then use the lil bending washer to keep it in place.....you'll see what I mean when you do it

sorry, I stepped away to feed my dogs, I think I know what you are talking about. I actually tried to do that when I swapped and turned out the clips. It didn't do anything but mar the hell outta the notch part of the nut.

did you ride today? That wind sucked! On the way home, I bout biffed it on a dead snaping turtle right when I shifted to second ...after the slow **** got faster!haha

I don't need them anywhere but they'd be nifty.
