Steering Lock?
 
Went to push my 1000SS out the garage earlier today to start giving her a good clean, strip off fairings etc etc and couldnt straighten the bars from their lock position at first. Checked that the key had moved all the way around from the steering lock position and again they wouldnt straigthen up! Used some gentle pressure and they moved and I pushed her out, waggled the bars for a bit and they loosened up and are okay now but Im not! :puzzled:

Anyone know what could have caused this? Im hoping it was just down to the last 3 weeks not being moved and the very cold weather but want to know if there is something more to it than that before I go out for my first ride...

Cheers.

You can check the lock is operating correctly by looking down the front of the tank.Turning the key,you should be able to see the lock plunger moving.If it is moving ok and the steering is still stiff,......steering head bearings???

Not got a steering damper fitted,have you?

Cheers for the advice and no havent got a damper. Graham Ive been meaning to call Carl for some time funnily enough maybe the bikes is trying to remind me! I'll check the steering lock as you say Keith otherwise I suspect it could be bearings... dear oh dear I hope not :(
