Enough that they will not inner change if that is what you are thinking on doing. I don't have my dial indicator here at the house. Don't know if I have a 98 up front bearing at the shop either, I know I have a 97 on the shelf. |

This seems to be a problem with (some? all?) chrome wheels, but that's another discussion. Bottom line is whatever you do to remove enough mess to allow installation of the correct bearings, DO NOT remove so much that the bearing cup is too big. A buddy of mine with a chrome wheels (front is no longer on the bike) originally suspected a bad tire, then suspected bad bearings. While we were at a wrench party and he was doing something else, I pulled the front wheel to inspect and the bearings came out in my hands with no need for a puller. We don't know if it was the previous owner or the chromer who realized he'd effed up, but the honing to correct went too far and the wheel is now a shiny piece of junk. He now suspects the rear wheel has the same problem. We'll know at the next service interval.
The 6004 bearings (stock '97 fronts) are 42mm in diameter, 12mm wide, and the axle hole is 20mm.
The 6204 bearings (stock for all non-97 fronts) are 47mm in diameter, 14mm wide, and the axle hole is 20mm.

Just a thought...
Would it be possible to put a '98 or later frt wheel on a '97?
Is it just the brgs sizes on the 97s that are different than the rest, or other factors like axle diameter, brake mounting, fork mounting ...
Or is this not that big of an issue with the '97s?
Just curious, I have a '99.

I changed my OEM frt bearinga at 85K, "just because" they were at 85K! Now the bike, a '97 tourer, has 248.8K and still on that second set of OEM bearings. The fact that the bering is a little smaller doesn't seem to make a difference. JMHO
