Greetings All Got my self a Across about a week ago...YAY I knew buying the bike it would need some work, My findings are. Needs a shorter/wider Battery...Easy Back break rotor was about 10mm thick and very bumpy...Easy Steering was stiff and not smooth. But found a tool to spin the ring underneath the top triple tree, The ring was on so tight needed to get my partner and his brother to help. After getting the ring to spin about a 4th of a turn(still very tight) the steering is a lot better. Anyway Question is...Should i get the steering head bearings replaced just in case, or save the money for other things?
I would replace them if when you turn the steering slowly you can feel it being notchy, eg the ball's or roller's have dented the bearing cup. All Ball's sell a decent kit at a good price http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/STEERING...717222?hash=item4647b46c26:g:bSsAAMXQrhdTQ1dO
Thanks for the info. The steering of a bike is not something im going to mess with. all good. got a quote from local bike shop for $200 to replace the bearings...
