I did it at my LBS 4 weeks ago and paid 2100sek =241usd
I think i paid 90usd for the original bearings.
i must say i prefer the old worn bearings, to much glide now :-)

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have links to perhaps aftermarket steering head bearings for the above bike? Mine's a downtown 200i 2012 model.

It has started to notch in the center, together with really wobbly steering when my hands loosen up. Also, every time I hit the front brake it knocks... pretty scary feeling like it's going to give way anytime.

I only intend to ride the bike for another 4-5 months and the dealer is expecting >$200 for the steering head bearing replacement. That's a little bit too much if I'm only going to be riding the bike for a short while.

Would anyone have links to maybe NTN bearings, or know the bearing size I should be looking for?

I bought this one https://www.givi.co.uk/motorbike-accessories/Bike%20and%20seat%20covers/S210
A little tight but i works

 God day mate!
If you are planning to buy, i myself bought 16g today, planning to grind away 0.5g to make them 15.5 as @adept did in this thread: http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=4700.225
I have tried 14&15g 15 is ok but with a little bit of high rev (+500)
I bought from here today:

My main gripe about the Iridium spark plug is that....on a rainy old day - with wet flurries expected - and you're wanting to do something good  to your scooter  - you'll feel pretty dumb if you change your Iridium  plug.*
Dumb things'll probably last till the Rapture.

* and WHY do you even have a second Iridium plug? You'll be too old to remember where you put it- before you'll  ever need it!

Sorry Stig but i dont really understand what you mean?
If it was to me i have the orginal spark.
As a Swedish bloak i dont get everything in English 🤠😄

Good day!
Im about to order this little miracle,
I want to get the right one 🤥
Is this it?

Today ive changed my belt to a new, only 9000km and 24mm wide but its 4-5 years old so why not 😄 The rubber maybe old.
Also changed airfilter and it was a good time to do it, dirty.
Removed a lot of grease from the clutch between the 2 bearings, i need to try because im not sure there suppose to be grease there. (As the picture shows)
Changed back from 15g Pulleys to orginal, again 😂 (great acc with Pulley but to high rpm)
Take care out there

You cannot lube the red one, the red one is next to the nut that holds the clutch assy on. You are NOT dumb! Questions are for when you do not know something. Old guys like most of us here are for giving you all the wrong answers! Har, har! Back to reality, your other excellent picture of the roller bearing (last picture page one) is the one you want to lube. A small dab on the tip of a finger that will fit inside the bearing. A little bigger than a Hershey's mini choclate candy kiss. Go buy four pounds of those, take one for a pattern, send the rest here! That does it!

So nice when you help us unexperienced here, so you do not have to leave the scooter to the workshop every time ! Then it feels safer if anything happens on the way.
Thank you Karl for making it crystal clear 👌
Im also a bit confused about the grease between the the two roller bearings, should it be grease there?(as seen on the last picture, page one)The surface that have contacts with the spline (driveshaft?) On the opposite side (variator) there is none grease on the splines.
Take care // Niklas

Sorry for my stupidity Karl, but!
Do i need to remove the nut to grease the clutch or just add some where the picture is taken?
