slice Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Do you have the manual? If not then buy that before you do anything to the steering, it might be ok and if you don't know whether it should be like this or not then leave it alone till you do know.

neversaydie Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If its got a centre stand, get a mate to push down on the back end so that the front wheel is off the deck, then try turning the bars. Should turn free without any knotching or clicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Have you checked your tyre pressures? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilip Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I havent checked tyre pressure but by pushing the tyre with hand there is a enough air.i used to have same problem with my old bike because of not enough air steering was hard but my new bike looks fine i will check just to make sure when i get home thanks guys.

slice Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Ok you have the manual, that's great. Get the front off the ground as NSD said and poke around to see if there's anything obvious. this is how you check them This is how you grease them Just a generic bike video, nearly all are the same or very similar.

slice Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Get a car jack and a block of wood to go under the sump of the bike, have your rear axle/paddock stand in place and gently wind it up till the front tyre clears the floor. That should do enough to get at the front forks and see if you have a problem. Might be best as well to get a mate to hang onto the bike while you rock it about just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
