Heavy steering sensation
In a previous thread someone stated their steering felt heavy and tended to "flop over" when in slow speed turns. I presume the author meant slow speed to be parking lot type maneuvers. This is my biggest complaint with my ride. I've changed fork fluid with correct and equal levels, adjusted the steering head bearings and will be getting new tires tomorrow. It's as though the steering is still too loose. Will be checking it when the tires are being changed and do further adjustment if needed. My poser: does everyone experience this same feeling? Has anyone solved what appears to be an inherent glitch? What have you done for a fix? Anyone investigate or install a steering damper?
Like others I try to keep the bike as upright as possible but it's something that is not exciting to live with! Oh yeah, '05 Nomad.
