06BCBANSHEE Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Was just wondering, the upper part o the steering shaft seems to have quit a bit of play. Maybe 3-5 mm when i pull up on the handle bars. I checked to make sure the washers where in place at the bottom of the shaft. Bolts are tight. Do i need new bearings? Quote

If you have not had it apart, then yes you probably need new bearings. If you have had it apart, then did you get the collar that the seal rides on below the bearing back in? The nut will tighten up against the shaft but not against the bearing if this collar is missing. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Posted April 30, 2011 Na never had it apart. Looks like its missing a washer that goes between the bottom nut and oil seal. Gonna try that hopefully that fixes it. Thanks man Quote
