OEM is the best bet for getting the
sealed bearing you
must have for the bottom bearing. As already noted, some (other than layo) have ordered what they THOUGHT was the right bearing...but it showed up without a seal.
As Mr. Phil said, yes, it comes as a set. Hazarding a guess here, but I don't think it's
possible to buy just 'some' of the parts.
I asked two different bearing wholesalers in this area for a Koyo sealed bearing. I was told by both of them, 'Can't get it. Must be an OEM part'.
I think CBR has 'em.....but with shipping and all, getting one locally from the Kaw dealer worked better for me.
BJH had 'connections' with a bearing person...he found one:

Now I'm holding Koyo bearing 32005JR in my hand. And yes it is with the seal. es verdad
I wouldn't waste ANY time with ANYthing other than a Koyo. I've used chinese products (Moose, AllBalls etc.), and they are
junk!! Unfortunately I just put a set of chink bearings in Cindy's Banshee..it was all that was available for a ride the next day. It only took an hour with a piece of pipe and a 12# maul to get the steenking axle out...sure wish I'd had access to Koyo bearings for that! Oh well...as well as they last, I KNOW I'm going to be doing it again
real soon!! Things won't be as stuck next time!! ...he said hopefully.
I mention that 'cuz the lower stem bearing is the same sort of thing. It's tough to get off the stem. You cannot get a puller around/under it. Rule of thumb is to press the stem out to remove the bearing. How often do you want to be messing with
that!!?? I cut mine off with a pnuematic cutoff. Yeah..I touched the stem a bit. It's harder to see the metal change from inner race to stem than you might think.
You bet! Grease'em!
CLEAN THEM first..THEN grease them. Use the old outer race to seat the new race in the steering tube.
Oh...I've tried looking for that bearing on the web. I get real good info like:
