unospeeder Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Who can tell/show me what the lower steering bearing assembly actually looks like on a 2020 Evo? I have a factory triple to replace the stock triple and I have the correct bearing and a few other pieces and parts. I put the factory top clamp on the bike already and plan on installing the lower bearing on the factory lower and then completing the swap. When I had the triple out of the bike the lower steering bearing assembly did not look like the parts diagram in that there was no "F/FORK ALUMINIUM RING" below the bearing (#6) at least nothing that looked like the diagram. Also #7, the "OIL SEAL 34,60.39,84.2,62" was not discernible either. The photo shows what I have parts wise. If it were my Montesa I would assume the larger flanged washer went below the bearing on the steer and that would be that. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totty79 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Mine doesn't match the diagram or the photo, it has an aluminium part below the bearing that has a recess around the outside that the o ring fits in. I can only vaguely recall that the previous bearing was different and that this kit had a few alternative parts that weren't needed, I had to figure out the best combination of parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to pull the existing triple and get a better look at what is fitted. I didn't have a lot of time and when I realized the lower bearing was not going to come off the steerer easily I stopped messing with it.

Between the bearing and the bottom clamp sits the part in question. It is an aluminum washer about 2mm thick with a groove for the accompanying o-ring. #6 in the parts diagram makes it look like a cup but it is not.
