[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1420300, member: 91752"] I don't understand what you mean by loose. Do you mean traction loose or something is going to come flying off loose? If it happened after you worked on the steering head bearings, I would retrace the assembly of that. Re torque wheel and forks according to the FSM etc.Check the front wheel bearings for sideways slop. Check rear wheel bearings, suspension linkage, swing arm bearings for excess play. Do you still have the stock front springs and rear shock? What are your front and rear sag measurements? Like Ross mentioned, properly installed steering head bearings (either stock or tapered) shouldn't cause bad handling. I would check everything front to back if your feeling any kind of loose going on. I hope you find success! [/QUOTE]
