Guest comotorcycleguy Posted September 5, 2007 #1 Posted September 5, 2007 Help! My 88 Venture has MAJOR steering problems... I basically can't turn the handlebars, and get a grinding and almost ratcheting sound/feel when trying to turn. Is this the main steering head bearing? How difficult are these to replace, or should this be done by a shop? Thanks, Scott
Squidley Posted September 5, 2007 #2 Posted September 5, 2007 If your getting a grinding sound when you turn, then there is more than likely a problem with the bearings. If that is what the problem turns out to be and your not real mechanically inclined then I would suggest that you let an experienced mechanic look into it. It is a pretty involved process to take it apart and regrease the steering head bearings.
