steering problem

[Johnny Rocket]

sometimes when i turn my tires too much or they hit something...they just get stuck in the turned position and i have to yank on the hadle bars for them to become un-stuck. whats the problem?

is your steering stops jumping over the stops on your steering stem?..
do u have stock or after market stem?.

my 400ex did this. I just put a spot of weld on the stops on the stem and frame. It can actually be very dangerous. I rolled my quad onece because I was stuck turning and wanted to be going strait.

good question my old ex did the same thing with the stock stem and aftermarket a-arms.

My buddies bone stock 300ex used to do this, and yes it is very unsafe, and I rolled it more than once because of this. Im kicking myself right now cause I cant remember the exact reason why it did this. I know the tie rod ends would get stuck over a tube.... I'd have to see it again...:ermm:
