I had my MoT last week and was advised that the steering was notchy. To explain further, when the front brake is applied and the bike is rocked back and forth, there is a notchy sensation through the bars. I guess its from the bearings at the point where the yolks/suspension is connected to the chassis? Does that sound about right? Could it be that everything just needs torqued up? Or will the whole bearing unit need replacing...
I go on tour in a few weeks, so I would like to get it sorted beforehand. However, I don't want to have to start a major job (as I did last year just before I set off... Never again), so if there is a temporary fix, I will go with that for now.
As usual, any help appreciated
If its driveable take it along to Dynotech Ecosse and Willie or Martin will tell you pretty much straight away what's involved.
