| Right - it's seriously shagged. I took everything off again, slackened the center nut (eventually using mole grips and a rag). It was tight. Slackened by about 1/8 of a turn. Fitted all back together. Took her out.
First off I thought oh it's all back ok. Still was turning in fast and then the front end felt like is was washing out all the time. Maybe that's supposed to be how it is. Really gave it some stick around the dual carriageways. It wasn't right but at least it was tracking in a straight line ok.
Then when I had slowed down, I found I couldn't put any steering input to the bars. Everything I did ther bike push back on me and it feels like the damper is turned right up. Stopped, backed the ohlins right off to nothing.
The steering feels and sounds like the head bearing are like sand, hard to turn handle bars - oh bugger again. Managed to get home - bit like riding one of those funny bikes that steer the opposite way to the way you steer.
SO have my head bearings gone? - I think they have - they feel dreadful !! How do I fix them and how much will it cost?
