Can any advise - (UK - Z1a)

Best way to remove the seal and 1/2 bearing from the bottom yoke ?

How to remove the steering lock (Is it the cover rivet holding the lot in) ?

Any help ,much appreciated.

Took last one off with a dremmel with fine cutting disc a touch at a time,seem to recollect there is a pin in the side that retains the lock,could be mistaken on that one though,you going for the taper bearing upgrade?..Paul J

Bit drastic but thought as much !
The Haynes manual says that the UK lock is a Neiman Lock secured by a rivet, the one on the cover is the only rivet that I can find, but not convinced (no rivet or screw in the side) ??
Yes, bought taper bearings from Saisei.
Thanks Paul

That is a tapered pin and not a rivet

Ease the pin out and put the key in to remove the lock

Ahh thanks,
Problem, No key
also no number

I think the key number is what you can see on end of barrel.
If it is some people can cut you one from the number without a key to copy.

PM Bykerboy (Malcolm) who's a member on here, He can cut a key from just the number.

No number on the uk type !
Looks like check mate

Spotted it from the blown up picture

Cant believe it ...
So now I know the number and check on the keyring that I was given with the bike and
there is a key with exactly the same number
Well it looked big
what a complete ****
Sorry

I call that a result.

I remove the bottom steering stem bearing with a blunt wood chisel. using the taper of the chisel to lift bearing off the taper on the stem.
give the chisel a tap on each side of the bearing in turn until bearing lifts of stem taper.
best method to fit new bearing is with a length of gas barrel of the needed dia. slid over the stem. double check the correct fitment of shim and seal before fitting bearing as if you fit them in the wrong order you will be buying a new bearing kit.

As for the lock I'm lucky I have a mate who's a locksmith.
I'm very good at braking keys in locks so comes in handy.
