    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.

Steering Head Bearings - Decapitated?

I have an increasingly worsening condition on my bike; the steering is starting to bind when I turn the handlebars, like it is catching on something. It is 'kicking' while coming out of low-speed corners (interesting! 8O ) and when turning the bars side to side, it feels like there is an obstruction. Since I don't see an obstruction, my only other guess is steering head bearings?

You win the 50,000 dollar answer, it is the bearings, replace with taper roller bearings is your best deal
 
depending on the year of your bike it may have ball brgs Replace them with tapered roller brgs. Spend an afternoon and replace the steering stem brgs
