Ummm and if you can move the handle bars inderpendently with the front wheel, then it all wants tighting up! It will just go out of line again otherwise, like a pushbike.. lmao!
lol its not that loose!!! if u mean what i think u mean? if u mean moving the handlbars and the wheel not moving or?
Yeh any movement. They should be UN-Movable by average humans, Imagine going through a tight bend at speed, and your bars turn out of line with the front wheel... Your OFF!! The bars are very important, like the brakes and throttle they need to be kept MINT, should be TIGHT as fuck and bearings should be replaced every couple years. Everytime I take a bike in for an MOT the headsets always need tightening, they take such a beatin from our crummy, pothole filled roads.
yeh there definatly not tight enough then...... i was able to move the bars by blocking the front wheel with my leg and moving the handlebars....there was a noticable difference. im deffo taking it to the garage tomorow the front wheel and the handlbars arent aligned properly because of the drop.
just whip the top pannel off, loosen the bolt that holds the bars on, line up the notch in the top of the forks wiht the bars (obvious when you see it) and tighten the bolt back up.. slap the top pannel abck on and its sorted.. 10 min job
