Steering question

[dads400ex]

I did not ride my R when it was stock so I need to know from you guys that are still running yours in stock form. Is your steering tight as in feeling stiff or takes some effort when you turn the bars? Mine is tight running +3+1 a-arms and just need to know if it is normal or if I should mess maybe with the caster and see if that helps.

Thanks

We had the same problem w/ mine when I put my +1 Ars FX and Custom Axis on there. Bill Ballance is checking it out Wed. We have tried changing the chamber twice. Possibly trying one more, then looking to change the steering flag to eliminate the bump steer/turning problem. I'll post when we get mine straightened out. Just curious, how much do you weigh? Thinking that has something to do w/ it.

Just wanted to let you know, Bill was up today and we've come to the conclusion that the steering stem flag is the problem. Ars FX will be making a new stem w/ the correct adjustment for people having this problem.

What is the problem with the stem flag?
