Good morning!
Lately, I have noticed a small play in the headstock bearings, at 32 000 km. Not much, no rough feeling or indents at the straight ahead or any other place. I've read all I could find in here and at JBX, envied mr Henty's special tool and whatsnot. The complete replacement procedure of the bearings is pretty clear to me.
I do plan to replace with tapered bearings, and change the fork oil at the same time. I had hoped, however, to do it at the end of the season, not now.
Would it be a terrible idea to just nudge the castle nut an 8th or a 16th of a turn until its tight, but not binding, for now? Would it then be necessary to loosen the top yoke clamps, or just the stem cap nut?
Any and all advice much appreciated.
