Kyosho Motor Cycle Aluminium Steering Post with Springs KM048SP by GPM  [KM048SP]

Aluminium steering post for Kyosho Motor Cycle models

This aftermarket steering post is an RC-scale replacement designed for Kyosho motorcycle models and sold as KM048SP. It uses an aluminium shaft with matched springs and ball bearings to support the steering linkage and convert servo input into controlled wheel movement. The notes below cover fit, installation checks, and how the part is used for setup and tuning.

Compatibility and role: the component suits Kyosho Motor Cycle steering assemblies that require a compact steering post. As a spare or upgrade it supports routine maintenance and tuning, with the integrated springs providing preload for return action while the bearings cut friction at the steering pivot.

Installation notes: inspect the current steering linkage and mounting hardware before fitting, confirm bore and shaft clearances, and replace one side at a time where possible to keep alignment. Use suitable thread-lock and correct fastener torque to prevent loosening during runs, and verify servo horn alignment after installation to avoid binding.

Tuning and maintenance: set spring preload and check bearing freedom as part of steering setup; freer bearings reduce hysteresis while firmer preload helps returnability. Regular cleaning and a light lubricant on bearings will preserve responsiveness, and re-check alignment after any servo trim or linkage changes.

The KM048SP steering post is a straightforward aftermarket option for Kyosho Motor Cycle steering systems, aimed at hobbyists who prefer aluminium construction with springs and bearings for predictable steering feel.
