this would fail an MOT test in the UK & bike would be off the road 'till it

| Hey Ross, Had this happen on a Yamaha I used to own, This comes from ALOT of long distace riding in a straight line(highway), What happens is the steering head bearings "pound" a valley into the race. The bearing that helped this mates with it and gets stuck. Not a big deal depending on how bad it is. I would think that not having the steering tight enough would cause this. |
