Royal Enfield KAH00082 / KAH00082/A – Himalayan & Scram 411 Ball Race Kit (Steering Cone / Steering Head Bearing Set – Genuine OEM)

The Royal Enfield KAH00082 / KAH00082/A Ball Race Kit is the genuine steering head bearing kit used on the Himalayan 411 and Scram 411. Official OEM price listings and microfiche identify KAH00082/A as “HIMALAYAN BALL RACE KIT”, confirming this as the factory-spec steering cone / ball race set for the Himalayan platform.

Multiple trusted Indian dealers list KAH00082/A – Ball Race Kit – Applicability: Base Model – Himalayan | Scram 411, Models – BS3, BS4 & BS6, clearly covering all Himalayan 411 generations plus Scram 411.

The ball race kit sits in the steering head / T-stem, allowing smooth handlebar movement and accurate front-end feedback. Over time, off-road riding, heavy luggage and hard braking can pit or flatten the balls and races, causing notchiness, wobble, or “center play” at low speeds. Replacing the worn bearings with this OEM Royal Enfield kit restores precise steering feel and stability.

Aftermarket cone sets often use cheaper bearings and poor tolerances, which can fail early or introduce play. KAH00082 is built to Royal Enfield tolerances, matches the original steering geometry, and is designed for everything from daily city commutes to Ladakh-style trails. For best results, install with fresh high-quality grease, correct torque and proper preload.

If your Himalayan or Scram 411 shows head shake, vague steering or a “click” when you apply the front brake and rock the bike, this is the correct OEM fix.

FAQs 

Q1. What exactly is the KAH00082 Ball Race Kit used for?
It’s the steering head bearing kit for the Himalayan/Scram 411. It sits in the frame head tube and works with the steering stem to let your handlebars turn smoothly. When worn, it causes notchy steering, wobble or play.

Q2. Will this fit the new Himalayan 450 or Guerrilla 450?
No. KAH00082/A is listed specifically as Himalayan 411 Ball Race Kit and is sold by multiple dealers only for Himalayan 411 & Scram 411. The 450 platform has a different frame and front-end design, so we do not claim compatibility.

Q3. Is this the same as a “steering cone set / tapered bearing kit” I see online?
Yes, many aftermarket sites label their products as “Himalayan steering cone set (tapered bearing with dust seal) – also known as Himalayan ball race kit”, often referencing OEM bearings 587324/A & 587882/C. KAH00082 is the Royal Enfield OEM kit code for this function.

Q4. When should I replace the ball race kit on my Himalayan?
Replace it if you notice:

• A “click” or knock when you apply the front brake and rock the bike,

• A notchy feel when turning the handlebar lock-to-lock,

• Wobble or instability at certain speeds even after wheel/balance checks.

Q5. Does this kit include the steering stem itself?
No. KAH00082 is listed and sold as a ball race / bearing kit, not a full stem assembly. If you need stem + bearings for UCE models you’d look at kits like 888339, which are unrelated to Himalayan.
