FAULTY STEERING.
A FREQUENT CAUSE. When a solo machine becomes difficult or “tricky” to steer, it is sometimes due to pitted bail races in the head. This can usually be identified by a tendency for the steering to “stick” in the dead ahead position, and is frequently found on machines which are used for side-car work at times. The trouble lies in imperfect—perhaps badly hardened—races, each ball making a slight depression in the race in ite usual position, he. dead ahead. No remedy is effective save renewal of the races, which means a complete dismantling of the steering head. A fresh set of races is advisable, even if one only is badly pitted, and great care should be taken to ensure that the new races are driven absolutely “home,” with a suitable drift, in the head lug of the machine.
