Hi All,
I have a '02 1150GS ADV with 20k showing which has a distinct notch or step, felt through the bars, when the bars are turned either way from centre line.
I realise that it will probably be a problem with either the top yoke bearing or the ball joint, but which one should I start with?
I have done a search but that seems to suggest that either is unlikely being as there is no lateral play in the handlebars (yoke bearing) an no obvious up/down play in the ball joint.
So which would be the sensible place to start? Or have I missed another possibility? Please don't suggest taking to a dealer as I've just bought the bike and i'm skint, so the repair ideally needs to be DIY.
All (relevent) advice greatfully received
Thanks
