Steering Head Bearings - Adjustment
Model Affected:
Scrambler 1200 XC, Scrambler 1200 XE
The procedure for the adjustment of the steering head bearings on the above models has changed. A new
service tool (T3880750) must be used to complete this operation.
When you adjust the steering head bearings, follow the procedure described below.
Warning
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
1.
2.
Remove the seat as described in the Service Manual.
Disconnect the battery as described in the Service Manual.
Warning
If the lower yoke fixings are also loosened, the forks will no longer support the weight of the motorcycle.
Do not loosen the lower yoke fixings as, in this condition, the motorcycle could topple over causing damage
and/or risk of injury.
3.
4.
Remove the upper yoke as described in the Service Manual.
Adjust the bearing free play as follows:
• Use service tool T3880023 to remove the lock nut.
• Remove the tab washer.
• Use service tool T3880023 to remove the adjuster nut.
• Thoroughly clean the threads on the steering stem.
• Refit the adjuster nut and tighten to 40 Nm.
• Loosen the adjuster nut, then tighten to 15 Nm.
• Fit the tab washer.
• Fit the lock nut.
Warning
It is essential that the adjuster nut is not over-tightened. If the adjuster is over-tightened it will cause a
pre-load on the headstock bearings. This will introduce tight steering, which could cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Technical Bulletin 197 Issue 1
4 of 9
• With the bearing free play correctly set, use service tool T3880750 to hold the adjuster nut
stationary, then use service tool T3880023 to tighten the lock nut to 40 Nm.

Warning
Make sure you torque the adjustment nut in an anticlockwise direction in the step that follows.
If you do not, the headstock bearings can become loose.
Note:
•
Keep the torque wrench at 90 degrees to the centre line of the tool when you tighten the adjustment
nut in the stage that follows. This will apply the correct torque to the adjustment nut.
• Use service tool T3880750 to tighten the adjustment nut in an anticlockwise direction to 45 Nm.
Keep the torque wrench at 90 degrees to the centre line of the tool.
Technical Bulletin 197 Issue 1

Note:
•
The adjustment nut can turn up to 90 degrees when you tighten it anticlockwise. This is usual.

Warning
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrectly adjusted steering head bearings, either too loose or too tight,
may cause a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
5.
Check that the free play has been eliminated and that the steering can be turned freely from lock-tolock without any sign of tightness. Readjust if necessary.
6. Install the upper yoke as described in the Service Manual.
7. Connect the battery as described in the Service Manual.
8. Install the seat as described in the Service Manual.

Thruxton 1200, Thruxton 1200R, Bonneville T120 models, Bonnevile Bobber,
Bonneville Speedmaster from VIN 739143 and Bonneville Bobber Black
A gear change selector mechanism kit has been introduced for the above models and is retrofittable to the
start of production.
Parts will no longer support the old condition gear change selector mechanism or the individual
components included in the kit, and any replacement will be to the new condition.
Parts kit T1191968 has been released for use when replacing the gear change selector mechanism kit. The
kit consists of a fully assembled selector mechanism.
Note:
•
The washer at the splined end of the selector shaft is retained by an O-ring for transportation
purposes. The O-ring must be removed and discarded before installing the selector shaft.

To clean the oil seal and dust seal, follow the procedure described below.
Warning
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
