Steering head nut

[ecbaatz]

Does anyone know the size and torque specifications of the steering nut on a 2018 Star Venture?

Still searching but have not found that info yet.

 

Update: Found torque spec to be 85ftlbs

 

2nd update: It is a 36 mm nut

Yes, the top nut has a pretty good torque. The bearing nuts not so much

I believe the tech manual is right here in the 3rd gen section.

I have the tech manual, that is where I found the torque after a search. Still trying to find the size. I think it might be 36 mm but not sure.

Is this something that needs to be checked? Serious question though it reads like a snide remark.

Not intending it to be a snide remark.

 

I have a wobble between 15-25 mph. My research shows it could be bearings, ($30 apiece) or the steering nut is loose. I have also heard that if rear is out of alignment it could cause it as well but am skeptical.

 

It started before i changed the front tire. Thought it was the stock tire so put a new one on with balancing beads and still have the wobble. So I am trying to eliminate possible causes. I thought checking steering nut would be cheaper then replacing the bearings.

 

Sorry if I offended you.
