Not sure about UK as I'm in the US.... I pretty sure that part number is stock for all bearings of that size, Not just limited to kymco. I have a 2001 Yup and that part# matches both my upper and lower as they're the same size. I know Yamaha and Honda use those too. If you google the number, you can find a dealer that sells them in the UK?

Correction: I think it's actually a Honda part number..... And pretty sure Honda use to make Kymco. Either way, That is the correct part# straight out of the Yup Part manual.

Hey Colourcode..... Is your Yup de-restricted or factory? And how much do you weigh and what's your normal top speed?

Hi guys sorry to bring this back up but does anyone know the exact size of the bearings in the the top and bottom of the stem ?

they are ball bearings and if someone can give me the exact size then I can get them from a bearing place instead of buying new :P
are the top bearings the same size as the bottom ones?

Looks like the same part # 96211-05000 

I cannot 100% verify size but dizzum28 said 5/32".  I replaced the bearings on a different scoot awhile back and cannot recall which size I used...may have been 3/16"?  It may come down to you just taking a caliper and measuring your existing bearings.  Or try giving Stadium Yamaha a call to see if they can verify for you.

lost all the existing bearings on the bottom set over here :( we work in mm and cm i think they are around 5mm im not sure but surely if they are all the same and roughly the same size as the original then its not going to make a great deal of differece?

I seem to recall they are 5mm...at least the ones on the Chinese clone scoot I replaced them on.  If they are 5mm then 3/16" is gonna be the closest.  5/32" is about 4mm.  I couldn't find any metric balls readily available here and I had some Std. at work so that is what got used.  The top and bottom races use the same size.

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU FKIN GENIUS! i really needed to know that the top are the same as the bottom so i can just take the top ones into a bearing shop and get a pack of loads lol :D

I will let you all know how it goes.

BY THE WAY, how do i adjust the steering? It's crooked since i fell off ...

No problem!  What do you mean the steering is crooked?  The handlebars?  The stem slides over the top of the fork steer tube with a bolt running through to tighten it down.  Check out these parts diagrams you can see how it all works.
