Steering head bearings Tenere 700

[marcosigno]

Hi everyone, with the tener 700 I have a problem with the steering head bearings, after a day of non-extreme off road I hear a click every time I brake or go over a bump, it's very bad also because after the last time the I tightened he continued to do so. I don't hear any noise when moving the handlebars to the right or left but with each stroke you hear something slow. Has the same happened to you? Thank you all.

I had same issue. Hit pot holes or bumps and hear kinda loud click noise. I tightened steering stem bolt. It got loose.

Take out forks and wheel.

Remove triple clamps and give bearings a good clean with spray and compressed air. 

Slap loads of grease back and work it into bearings.

Put back together and tighten so that the bars are just tight enough to stop flopping about but not too tight so that you feel a notchy feeling. 

Should be good.
