    How tight is the steering stem suppose to be? When i took it apart it was loose. Really loose, removed with my fingers. I have nothing to go by.

    I was told (several times) that you are supposed to tighten the bearings very snug then back them off one half turn. I can only tell you from my own experience that it has worked for me.

    Thank you Charlie. I took a guess just like doing wheel bearing. It worked great. She is back together. I put the forks flush. I figure it should shift some weight to the rear.
