Mid, when I adjusted mine I found that by lifting the front up a couple inches, it was easier to feel how the steering got tighter. On the ground there's too much resistance to feel it, so it feels tighter than when you're riding. I thought I had it good with doing it while it was in the ground until I rode it and it was just as floppy so to speak.
Then I lifted it up and realized that it needed to be tightened up some more. I got it to where it needs a little encouragement to turn with the wheel off the ground and while riding I think it's perfect. With my hands off the bars it tracks perfectly straight.

Happy B -day G
Thanks for the input Cyg
No, I have been real busy with work and my kids - hopefully this weekend -
I should mention I DO NOT have the same I keep reading about (let go of the bars at 40-50 and they start to shake etc..) - like most say when it is the neck bearings/ steering head
This all happens once I reach 70-75mph the bike just feels really "light" even if I shift my *** a tiny bit, the entire bike feels "side to side" if that makes sense --this feeling also increases if I sit straight up at this speed vs slouching _ it is not the wind etc.. as it is a very uneasy feeling and I know its not right
*also if I let go of the bars at the bike does tend to pul left (I basically cannot ride with no hands but can make it work by shifting my weight lol)
Nice choice on the kids dirtbike bike etc.. you know I did the same thing for my son and it came back to me in a great way
