#383384 flh79wv (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 stiff steering 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   the steering on my roadstar will not go into a turn easily, put it on a stand and no play in the front end.checked the axle bearings and they appeared in good shape. however right side of rim was shaped different behind bearing, it had an eighth inch ledge that the bearing rests against. is this correct? had tire balanced,it was way out when. they had the axle so tight i used a cheater pipe to loosen it .may this have caused my problem   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #383391 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7907 Re:stiff steering 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Sounds like a lack of grease on the axle and probably worn out tires. Low air pressure will also do that . You didn't say how old the tires are.

That will cause hard cornering.   Logged     Mike V.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1347 Re:stiff steering 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Does the steering easily move back and forth when off the ground? At what speed is it stiff? My scoot likes to go straight when movin'. The engine and radial tire dynamics set up like a gyroscope! Do you use counter-steering when turning?

Moderator Posts: 12504 Re:stiff steering 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   flh79wv that isn't typical of the R* check the neck bearing like was said. use push pull methiod of stearing. Push on the bars in the same direction you want to turn.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
