JetMoto front suspension/steering
#11
I'm with you, for the money it is one heck of a nice quad. My son loves it. I just don't want anything to suddenly break, and him get hurt. I spoke with Danielle at Raceway this morning, and she is shipping out new ball joints, and a new tierod. Same great, friendly service as usual. John and Danielle... you two are the best!
BTW, check the upper steering stem mount. It has 2 mounting bolts with a locking tab on both. Those bolts had come loose also allowing the handlebars to wobble around. How they came loose with the tabs supposedly keeping the bolts from turning is a mystery. I have a funny feeling there is nothing but a plastic bushing in the mount, might be wearing. Anyway I tightened them down, and rebent the tabs over, and solved that problem.
If you can't tell by now, I'm a natural born tinkerer. I HAVE to be working with something. Keeps me out of trouble.
