Post by Mole »

Hey guys, is it easy to tighten the headstock?, i got a caution on my M.O.T, and now it's a few months after i can hear a tiny knock when i go over bumps.

easy enough, remove top yoke there are two locking nuts tighten the bottom one then the top.. using a c spaner, be carful not to go too tight as steering will be stiff!! then re fit top yoke job done!!!

as long as you can get the front of the bike off the ground, its easy.
you need the front off the ground so you can see that the bars can move free enough.
you need a 41 socket, i think
