Hey all,
I noticed on the 2003 rm125 I bought the other day that if you "lift and jiggle" the front tire while the bike is on the stand there seems to be a bit of play in the headset(I think its called the headset, its been awhile and I dont have a manual yet.)
If I recall I need to pull the bars and the upper triple clamp off to reach that "special" nut that takes a "special tool" to tighten it and that should rectify this issue no?? Or can I just bang onto that "special" nut with a screwdriver and hammer to try and tighten things there without removing bars etc? Please tell me which is best/correct. The bike has an Applied upper clamp so I think whomever put that on may have left everything slightly to loose.
Any tips are greatly appreciated!
