YAMAHAULASS!

I had some knocking n free play on the neck of my frame, felt it and heard it with every bump or even while hitting the front brake. So I tighten it and now there is a rattle (more like bells jingling, or a washer bouncing), WTF? I took the clip-ons off, removed the top yoke, then I tighten the bolts on the head cassete. Did I do something wrong? should I take it back apart and tighten it more, I don't know how much torque they are suppose to have. Don't want to fuch it up, thanks

i normaly just take a screw driver and tighten down the head-set... we should hook up... maybe i could take a look at it...

havin the same problem with my 99 R1,friend of mine told me it was the steering head bearings he replaced his also a 99 R1 with roller bearings and it fixed it i guess. said it was a pain in the a** he had to heat the bearings in a stove to shrink them just to get them in. let me know what you come up with.

I don't personally own one, but a good friend of mine had the same problem. The head set bearings were broken.
