Anyone know the correct number of balls for the top and bottom steering stem races on an 82 XJ750R (Seca)?

I swear I read 19 in the manual at the library, but for some reason I only counted 18 when I had everything apart lastnight!

Wierd.

Can someone confirm if it's 18 or 19?

Thanks,

Chad

Now is the time to remove the ball bearings and replace them with tapered Timkin bearings.

The switch made night and day difference on my 1982 Seca Turbo.

Hey winterhawk where did you get your Smooth Motorcycle Tapered Steering Bearing Conversion kit from?
