Steering stem upper race problem
Hi guys, I just replaced my steering stem bearing everything's ok down, but up, the race does not fit flush on the frame in its place. Any ideas? Its a little up towards the tank, but half millimeter up, I'll post a photo in 5 mins

It doesn't look right to me. I had similar situation, but much smaller than 0,5 mm. Just a fraction. In your case I would try again, but maybe I am wrong. For peace of mind.

How deep is the bearing (outer race) you have fitted? It should be 15mm. Is it jammed right down against against the lip in the headstock? Just double check you have been supplied with the right bearing(s) before we delve any deeper...

The bearings are the right size, the race from the other end was perfect, and the stem bearing is ok, this is the only problem I am encountering, and the old race had the same problem, and still the fork si acting like before, it's moving, when I wiggle it, but the same as the old bearings, that were stock, but still, as far as I know it should be flush, and by the way, the former owner had a crash with it, and the fork tubes were changed, because they were almost like a bowtie.
