cables do not side. interfere with handlebar rotation.

Check the steering stem bearings by grabbing the fork legs and attempting to move the front fork for­ward to backward.

If the handlebar moves unevenly, binds, or has ver­tical movement, inspect the steering head bearings (page 14-48).

If excessive play has detected, check the steering stem for cracks.
