Bought suzuki ans very cheap, one fault is extremely wobbly steering from set off, pulling the bike one way to another, was thinking what is it most likely to be? Been told could be steering head bearings? Any help much appreciated thanks.
If you can get someone to hold either the front wheel or handlebars and you try to physically wobble the front wheel or handlebars, see if there is any play in the wheel. It's not a loose wheel nut is it? If not then it probably is the steering column bearing worn or insecure nut holding it together.
I've never tackled that problem myself but I'd imagine it would involve removing the entire front end, plastic fairings, suspension, maybe more stuff, depending on the setup of your bike. Hopefully someone here can guide you or at least help you with this in more detail. Regards.
Off the top of my head, unless the wheel nut is loose or the wheel bearing has completely disintegrated, I can't think of what else could cause the issue. Are the front forks tight on there?
Put the bike on the centre stand, the front wheel should be on the ground (normally). Stand in front of the bike, apply the front brake, grab the front wheel at the very front and see if you can move it backwards and forwards a bit. There are plenty of youtube vids for you to look at. If you need to replace them, and I would just in case, you will have to replace the ENTIRE bearings set, not just the rollers!
