Tight steering and speedo re-set
I don't see this problem in past threads, so I would like to know if any others have had this problem. My steering has tightened (gotten hard or stiff) at the steering head. This seemed to happen after a light drop of the bike, but could have been due to travel on exceptionally rough, rocky trail. The tightening leemed to loosen some after a few miles of hiway riding, but is still stiff. I have checked for cable drag, and all are loose so there is no binding there. I loosened the lock and adjusting nuts and the unit loosened up and felt fine. However when I re-tighten everything to the called for specs the unit tightens up again. Any help would be welcome.
The other problem is that I have lost the screw on the odometer re-set knob. I have even contacted Yamaha, but nobody can tell me what screw I need. It apears to be about 2mm X 40mm, but I am not sure. Paarts like that are hard to find in the middle of Wyoming, so I will have to order one from somewhere so I will need to know the exact size. If anyone knows the size please relay that information.
