handlebars loose of sn

[Fro Diesel]

handle bars loose, er well sloppy. I was thinking of using an old milk jug as material to space it and retighten. what do you use? ever had this prob? I've never had it apart, doesn't mean the previous owner didn't...

i usually just use some locktight on the nut to help keep them from coming loose

Handlebars loose, or turn plate loose?

Bars are loose use loctite, blue
Turnplate loose look for a thread, try searching "steering slop", Mark44 I believe had a McMaster Carr part that may help. Nylon type washer.

I always keep 2 crecent wrenches around, tighten my turnplate and pole bolts before ripping if I remember.

If you're referring to the plate itself being loose and wobbly....get a washer on that stem and crank down the nut reaaaaaaal hard.

my torque wrench doesnt have that setting. Guess I'll have to buy an updated one. :laugh2:

I just loctite the nut, and re-tighten when it loosens, (twice this season, not a huge deal of hassle IMO).

oh no the nut is tight never had it come loose after 20 hrs of riding. the turnplate is all loose. and teh jet pump nozzle is loose where it connects to the pump. I think i may have bought it like this. :hitwithrock: should have done my homework but this is my first snsj. I will take it apart and take pics, it will be easy b.c one of the chin pad mounts pulled out of the fiberglass (neatly) Think i'll use some expoxy to keep it in. Thanks for oyur help. searching for slop right now at the bar:beerchug:

 

[Fro Diesel]

fixed it right up with two milk jug washers, homeade. nice now. Just need to fix teh chin pad and the nozzle is still loose, will take it apart tomorrow and should be able to figure it out. THanks!
