how to adjust steering head bearings?
Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2003 7:04 am
I am in the midst of trying to sort out a nasty headshake (see previous post) and it has been suggested check steering head bearings. How is this done? Is a special tool needed? Shop manual vague on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated if somebody out could walk me thru the procedure via the "CBX way" on this terrific new BB.
My 81 has RaceTech gold cartridge emulator superforx assembled by Mike Donndilinger, Progressive shock, 85 VFR low bars, and I have reformed from being a high-speed-corner-charging-wearing-out-mysidewalls-before-my-centertreads into more of a straightline-high-speed-blaster. Thank goodness I don't own a Hayabusa, they'd lock me up and throw away the key, if they ever caught me!
