Hey guys this is going to sound like a really dumb question, but I am putting together a 2002 xr50 and when I put the forks together and on, after tightening the nuts, they are still kind of loose.



So what all pieces go on the stock forks? Like the bearings(2) and what else slides down on the stem before tightening?



Thanks.

Are the legs loose or is it all loose?

Did you put the bearing races on?

 

[jsander9]

the whole thing it kind of moves a little inside the neck of the frame.......



and bearing races, im not sure what they are like I said, im kind of just learning as i go.

ya leave out the little ball bearings

 

[jsander9]

no i have bearing on the top and bottom, what else should be in there?

 

[doopsx3]

r u using the stock ball bearings or are they upgraded tapered style

 

[jsander9]

stock.....everything is stock

well, if you did not remove the races from the frame and steering stem and you are not missing any of the small ball bearings it should go back together fairly snug after you screw down the stem securing nut.......use some axle or wheel bearing grease to help keep the little ball bearings in place

I just replaced mine, I think I have a pick. Just slide everything on from the right to the left. starting with the big rubber cap!!

I just redid the springs in mine. Here is a pic of the bottoms. All you do is install everything you see here from right to left starting at the Rubber fork caps!! Hope this helps!!!

thanks, but what i'm looking for is what all exactly slides over the steering stem??
