I haven't ridden my YZ much, in fact not since the last trip to Maine for Columbus day, but I did take it outside a few weeks ago and gave it a bath. Did my usual washing with a hose, simple green and a paint brush. I also used an electric leaf blower to dry the bike when i was done, then put the bike back in my basement. Well i went to move it today and noticed something was up with the handle bars, like I could hardly turn them? WTF? I put it up on the stand and confirmed something was fucked. Thinking the obvious, steering head bearings? While i have never taken them apart to lube them (now that i think about it, I've never lubed steering bearings on any dirtbike I've had) , I always check for proper movement and it always seems fine. It has nothing for time on, and half of it is on pavement.
My plan was to take it apart over the winter and service all the moving suspension parts anyways, feels like I'll be buying some bearings now
Anyone had this happen?
