Steering Stem

[KENNY HEMMINGS]

Has one any else had a problem with the top steering stem mount
getting loose and sloppy feeling?? I have replaced this piece
before with factory yamaha parts and after a couple of races will
be loose again? or does any one know off a aftermarket mount?
I love my YFZ'S I have bought a new one every year since 04
but this is a cheezy set up for stem mount.

I've never had a problem with my steering stem and I've got an '05. When I changed out steering stems (bent it and bought one from an '06) I made sure to clean the clamp and put grease in it. Still doing great *knock on wood*.
