does it happen to vibrate alot (even at low speed) if ur steering cone is damaged?

then how initially does the steering cone damaged? and any way to test urself to know that its damage?

Last time changed @ Eddy Ong Amk Ind Park 1 for $70.

I suggest u just change lah.

No harm...only thing is pocket lighter by $70.

 

At least after change u got peace of mind about ur handling.

Sometimes u ride for so long u so used to the handling, u won't feel anything.

When another person touches ur bike, it'll feel weird.

 

So just get it changed when u can.

Cheers !

Hi S4Sixty, the original Steering cone bearing should be intact one, i.e the bearing will be 2 X whole piece for the top and bottom of the steering cone. Dun remember need to put in ball by ball like what u describe.

My Handle bar compare to my 2 frenz.. Mine seem to be tight and stiff.. not tat easy to manover..

 

If there something wrong with my handle bar or steering cone?

 

I remember when i was riding NSR, i even when to shop and request can make it more stiff (easier to cornering) But now.. erm... 2 frenz of mine commented on mine liao.. so i am windering is it realli something wrong? If yes.. then why ppl wanna add damper to make it more stiff as in stable?
