I had my head stock all repared just a few weeks ago ( new bearings and stuff ) I had my shop do the job 4 me.
I didn't want to take any risk in doing it my self.
I think it was about $200/$250 all up...not sure on that will have to find invoice Regards Richard

did mine when I changed front forks. your head bearing will wear especially if you do wheelies, it takes a pounding on landing. <i></i>

the book says that it should be done up to 65 ft lb's which is tight but not really busting tight. When i took mine off i used a big socket with a rag over the nut to help prevent from damaging it. do you have a manual at all? <i></i>

Gazza posted a while ago part numbers to replace the stock bearings with sealed tapered rollers, maybe in the mods section. <i></i>
