What kind of socket for tightening steering head bearing?
« on: March 09, 2015, 04:22:05 PM »
The handlebars shake when I let go of them, or sometimes if I just decelerate from about 50mph. What I've read says this could be loose steering head bearings.

Is it necessary to have Kymco's special socket for tightening the lock nut? Would a normal, but very deep socket work? And if so, what size?

Bet and Win on here says that is usual if you let go of the bars.
