I was installing my bars today and i noticed i get a little play out of my steering stem, like i can wiggle it from side to side, it makes a little cluck noise too, is this normal or do i have to replace the stem?

 

My 660 did the same thing, i took the bolt off the steering stem all the way at the bottem, where it connects the tie rods, and but threat locker on it and tightend it all the way and all of it went away. Put the thread locker on, or it wobbles after a few rides again.

 

make sure the bracket is tight

 

Thanks fatty and bing, im going to try that out now.

 

it could also be a loose/damaged tie-rod end

 

lol, this just keeps getting better and better

 

belive me, its what i said, i thought that to, all my friends are like, you need new tie-rods, new bushings, i just tightend up that nut with some threat locker and its fine.

 

Fatty what kind of thredlocker did you use, red or blue?

 

Thanx for the advise....My friend told me about the threadlocker trick, and I thought he was full of it...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Mines been doing it for 2 years, but never bothered me enough to fix it. Now the problem will be solved....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
