It looks like this is my next project for my 2014 ES. When I had the front wheel off to install new tires, I noticed how heavily "notched" the steering was. This surprised me because I hadn't noticed this previously while doing the prior maintenance over the last few months. The bike has ~58kmiles on it and I will assume that the steering head bearings have never been replaced. What parts should be updated as part of this job?
Looking at RMATVMC or Partzilla I only see one bearing (#1) in the diagram. Based on what I read here, I was expecting to see a lower bearing listed as well. Am I missing something?
Last Question for now, what is the consensus on OEM vs something like the All Balls Kit?
