Steering Problem
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

When im sitting on my quad and I turn the bars a little bit the tires dont move. Im only turning the bars like an half an inch or an inch. But when I keep on turning the bars the tires turn like they normally do. I dont even notice a difference when im riding its just when im sitting on the quad when its not moving.
So is there a way I can fix this by tightening a bolt or something?

Its possible that the nut at the base of the stem is loose, but more than likely its just the steering stem bushing is sloppy. Its a very common problem and your best off just learning to deal with it as they develop play VERY quickly. Obviously if it gets real bad switch it out, but if theres only alittle play just live with it. Otherwise you'll be replacing them every 20-30hrs.

Cool, Thanks for the help. I think im just going to live with it for now and if it gets worse I'll get a new bushing.
