Default Steering play on Big Bear

I can turn my handlebars approximately 1/2" left or right before the wheels start to turn. I used the search engine and found that a lot of folks with Raptors have had the same issue and have either tightened the nut on the bottom of the steering stem or completely replaced the factory nut with a castle nut. I'm wondering if the steering setup between the two are similar and if so, could this be my problem? Also, where exactly is this steering stem nut located?

Tightened the nut and all is well. I did remove the pin and add some loc-tite so with any luck, this will never happen again.
