    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I seem to have alot of questions.... and first id like to thank all of those great people who replied to me.
Question: When I turn my handelbars, left and right, to turn my wheel, once I hit the middle position where id be going straight, I feel a "notch" in the steering. It feels like at that spot ( straight) the steering falls in a groove. I turn a slight bit harded, and it get out of the groove..... happens both when i turn left or right. ( Bike was in storage for 10 yrs and 65,000 kilometers on it.
Is this normal ??
 
No, that's not normal ... you need to remove the steering head and grease or replace the bearings - none of our bikes have an "auto center" steering system.
 
Definitely shot bearing(s). Check the races in the steering stem too.

How did you go about greasing the bearings?
Please explain...
