Taper rolling headstock bearings

[Bikeless]

Hi,

I am currently using standard headstock bearings in an early Fireblade,they will need doing this year and i was wondering if there is any benefit from converting to taper rolling ones?

When i adjust the original ones they never feel tight even when new.

Thanks,Paul.

Yes, taper roller bearing are far superior to rollerball bearings. The contact-patch is larger so they don't make dents in the races so easily from being in the same position most of the time.
