So I got the chance and courage to have a look at my headstoch bearing! I am glad i did as everything was loose! even the pinch bolts in the forks! I cant decide weather someone replaced/serviced the bearings but got distracted on reassembly or they just worked loose over time? anyway I have tightened everything up and it feels much better however I have not been out for a ride yet. I will just keep an eye on it just in case it does loosen again.
I wonder if the bearings are worn could this also encourage loosening? (maybe on the headstock but surly not the fork pinch bolts?). I now have another job as i noticed oil at the final drive and when i pulled the rubber booth back I got a handful of oil so I am thinking a gearbox output shaft seal well that`s Saturday`s entertainment sorted! K.
