Exact versions, markets and years are in the table above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat exactly does the kit include?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe complete steering head assembly: the two tapered roller bearings with their respective races, the threaded adjusting nuts, the spacer, the washers with the lock washer, and the dust cover. This is everything that works inside the steering head: no other spare parts are needed to complete the replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere exactly is it located on the vehicle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the steering head, between the frame and the fork stem: the lower bearing works above the fork plate, the upper one below the adjusting nuts. In the catalog, the kit is in the \"Fork\" table, position 1, and on the X9 500 in the \"Fork-Race Group\" table, position 17.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if the races need replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTypical symptoms are a click or notch in the center when turning the handlebars, vibrations or wobbling in a straight line, steering that stiffens at low speed, and a \"thunk\" from the front end when braking. If you feel play when lifting the front wheel and pulling the fork, the assembly needs to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it an original Piaggio spare part or an equivalent?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the original Piaggio spare part with code 5982615, new and never fitted, the same kit provided by the manufacturer for these frames. Bearing measurements, nut threads, and dust cover are those of the original equipment. It is shipped from Italy with invoice and manufacturer's warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install it myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWorkshop equipment is needed: the handlebars and fork are disassembled, the old races are extracted from their seats, and the nuts are tightened with the dedicated wrench, adjusting the preload. Incorrect preload will make the steering stiff or leave play: if you don't have the tools, entrust the installation to a mechanic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Piaggio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58891004346716,"sku":"5982615","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/3660\/0668\/files\/piaggio-5982615-gruppo-ralle-serie-sterzo-x8-x9-nexus.png?v=1788187155","url":"https:\/\/www.moonbikesrl.it\/en-us\/products\/piaggio-5982615-gruppo-ralle-serie-sterzo-x8-x9-nexus-500","provider":"Moon Bike S.r.l.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
