The KM048SP steering post is an aftermarket replacement tailored to Kyosho motorcycle steering layouts. It features an aluminium shaft engineered for accurate fit, matched spring preload and sealed ball bearings to reduce pivot friction and support consistent steering response during tuning.
Compatibility and role: developed for Kyosho Motor Cycle steering assemblies where compact, robust components are required. The integrated springs provide controlled preload for return characteristics while bearings minimise friction at the pivot, improving repeatability across runs.
Installation notes: verify bore and shaft tolerances and ensure alignment of linkage components before final assembly. Replace one side at a time where practicable to keep neutral geometry. Apply recommended thread-lock to steel fasteners and torque to specification to prevent loosening under load.
Tuning and maintenance: adjust spring preload to achieve the required return force and confirm bearing freedom to reduce hysteresis. Periodic cleaning and light lubrication of bearing races will retain responsiveness; inspect springs and replace if set or fatigued to maintain original behaviour.
KM048SP is a precision aftermarket steering post intended for hobbyists seeking improved steering consistency and tuning control through aluminium construction, preload springs, and quality bearings.
