RSTD Steering Head Bearing adjustment

Does anyone know a link or know what's involved in adjusting the steering head bearings on an 05-09 RSTD? Lot's on the RSV but nada on the RSTD that I could find. How do you move the speedo to get to the nut, etc...

Thanks,

Steve

Just so happens I adjusted the steering head bearings on Dave Wells bike two days ago. Just slide the windshield off and then there is one screw on the front of the speedo housing and two on the back. Remove those 3 and the speedo housing will just lift out of the way. Then the is a bracket around the steering head nut. Only two screws that hold it on and it is much easier to loosen the steering head nut if you remove that bracket first. To loosen that top nut you will need either a 27mm or a 1 1/16" combination wrench.

Once you get that stuff out of the way, here is a link that shows how to adjust them.

Thanks very much!

Thanks Don

It made a big difference in handling on both the Venture and the RSTD

About 30 minutes to do both with the proper tools....
