Good news, the bearings were replaced last Friday - 20.04.2007, under warranty. My dealer, who has been supportive of the claim, stated that the bottom bearing had 'red rust' around it, and it's going back to Yamaha. It couldn't have been greased very well, or at all, when the bike was assembled. Anyway it handles like it should now so I'm happy.

Excellent news, it's good to hear a successful resolution. It makes sense for the dealer to support you. He's ensured return business from you now I'd imagine, if more dealers took this view I'm sure they'd reap the rewards in the long term.

A dealer that gives a damn is a very rare beast. Well done on getting them replaced and all the best.

Can anyone confirm the measures of both Steering bearings?
I found a kit which maybe fits. Mine are not shot but i just want to be sure.

I think that the measures are these:
*Mfg: SSH901 upper bearing 25 x 47 x 15mm
lower bearing 30 x 55 x 17mm

Just for info that many type of bearings can be fited on xt660x/r/z

Even old z750 bearings are same as new xt ones... so there is no need to order new ones from facgtory, just find some store who has them in and it all works just fine.

Madone - but did you measure those before you installed them :P ?

Have you looked in the modification index as the bearing part numbers are listed in the Sevice section under suspension.
