weird problem after new steering bearings?
So I just finished installing all ***** head steering bearings. I tighten then according to all the research I've found online. Now when I'm riding and I turn left or right I get this feeling that the bike is pulling that way and have to apply some force to center the bars. Is this normal after new bearing install or it there another problem??

Granted all this at 10 mph or less. It seems super sensitive and doing slow turns it feels like it's pulling the bars said direction. The triple tree is installed correct and torqued correctly. Torqued a hair past resistance when turning then backed off till no resistance is felt then lock but applied. All this while the front was off the ground and relieved of all pressure. The ole bearings were bad. They snapped back to center and a few ***** actually came out of the bearing retaining collar. Maybe it's just me because this is my first bike and this could be what steering should of been all along??
