nsr yokes removal

[guest 54]

could someone please tell me if there is any special way of removing the top yokes off the nsr. i think i hav taken all the bolt s out. i have removed the main one which holds the suspension to the frame and the two which pinch the yokes to forks but she doesnt want to budge.

If I remember, there were some circlips around the top of the forks on my model (nsr125fm). These need to be taken of before you can pull the rest off.. my (old) nsr's under a load of shit so I can't be bothered to go and look now.
Apart from that it should just be the pinch bolts and the yoke nut. It's often easier if you can drop the forks out of the top yoke.

I've just replaced the head bearings on mine and there were no circlips (NSR125R-K though). Only held together by the pinch bolts as G said.

They weren't actually circlips as such, more just a 'barcelet' style ring of metal that went into a groove.

Aaarrrrhhh! So that was what that little grove was for. Mine didn't have any
