Motorcycle and Scooter Headsets

🧩 What is a Headset?

The headset is a set of components that allows the handlebars and front fork to rotate smoothly. It typically includes:

• Ball or tapered bearings
• Upper and lower caps
• Dust covers and washers

A worn headset can cause play or sticking in the steering, compromising safety.

🔧 Replacement Tips

1. Compatibility : Make sure the headset is compatible with the make, model and year of your vehicle.
2. Bearing Type : Tapered bearings offer greater durability and precision than ball bearings, but may require more thorough maintenance.
3. Installation : If you are inexperienced, consider having a professional mechanic do the installation.
