Default HELP steering issues

My 929 seems a little weird on steering. Even if I am sitting on the bike not moving. If the wheel is facing straight and you turn it left you kinda have to force it then it lightens up and turns. There is not a fluid feel to it. This goes for coming back to center. It is fluid until its almost to the center then it kinda jerks to the straight ahead position. This goes for turning right also.

If i had my 954 manual in front of me I could help ya. But referance the manual. If you dont have one it is bout time to get one. lol. But it sounds like the stem bearings are wore out and jamming up. I know on the 2002 954 early models they had a recall to change them to needle bearings. good luck

Also check that the clutch cable is not binding on the bottom of the gauge cluster, I had to adjust mine.
