And also note the main bearing numbers (steering head bearings, wheel bearings, chain idler etc), NOT the spare part number from the manufacture, so you can order generic bearings on the road. My F650 needed new steering head bearings. I rang the dealer who quoted me NZ$130 for a kit, then cleaned up one bearing to take to make sure of a match. On the bearing I found a Niachi bearing number and got a pair from the Niachi agent for NZ$26. I was careful with taking out the dust covers and did the job for 1/5 the price.
