hi all,..the 3rd attempt to put this in some format,.. for you to get what is going on.
Haans's steering is a bit sloppy lately and I decided it is time to do something about it.
1'st tools were made "according" to the the box in my stash,... see last pic.
expecting to see a box like in 2'nd pic ???
to my surprise I found this ,... pic 1,..with a brass plug in place of the "adjuster"
out with the fuel tank and opened the top of the box to find that is depicted in the 3rd "download",..... I could not find anything on how to sort my issue out on mrs Google ? ,..except this picture
No 26 in this picture looked like something that could "adjust" but no luck,.. the slot for the lock bolt prevents it.
So,.... I put all back and adjusted the screw with locknut on the outside of the top of the steering box,......sloppyness reduced but not completely gone,. and steering a bit stiffer,....which is to be expected.
anybody experienced this before ? any advice ?
regards Haans
