Just bought a Burgard Steering Stem for a 450R. They sent me one for a 400ex which works fine but it is almost impossible to turn when i ride cuz it's so stiff. Can i shave the bushing or something?

you could have over tightened the stem clamp. mine and several others work flawlessly.

if youre not wanting to return it, then use a washer as a "shim" under the clamp..
