Guest comotorcycleguy Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Help! My 88 Venture has MAJOR steering problems... I basically can't turn the handlebars, and get a grinding and almost ratcheting sound/feel when trying to turn. Is this the main steering head bearing? How difficult are these to replace, or should this be done by a shop? Thanks, Scott
Squidley Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 If your getting a grinding sound when you turn, then there is more than likely a problem with the bearings. If that is what the problem turns out to be and your not real mechanically inclined then I would suggest that you let an experienced mechanic look into it. It is a pretty involved process to take it apart and regrease the steering head bearings.
Eck Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Help! Is this the main steering head bearing? Scott, It sure sounds like it.... How difficult are these to replace, or should this be done by a shop? On a scale of 1 to 8... with 8 being the hardest........6.5 to 7
