Stem Bearing Adjustment

Stem Bearing Adjustment

Gold Wing steering stem bearing adjustment for looseness after tapered bearing installation and initial break-in.

I show how I readjust the tapered steering stem bearings on a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing after installation and initial riding revealed they were still loose. I cover diagnosing the steering-head play, gaining access to the adjuster, tightening and seating the bearings, and checking the steering for proper movement. I also include practical tips for finding the right adjustment without leaving the steering too tight.
