My scooter steering bearings keep getting loose. I would say every 2000 km I need to have the shop adjusting them for me. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
Can they be upgraded to tapered-rollers type bearings? Mine are caged ball bearings.

Blue Loctite would be fine, but don't over do it. A litte dab will do ya. If your scooter is like mine, and has the 2 nuts above the bearings, one to adjust the play, and a second to lock the first one in place......I would apply the loctite so it will only be in contact with the lock nut.
