Steering Stem Removal

SAFETY FIRST: Protective gloves and eyewear are recommended at this point.
Support the vehicle with a suitable stand or jack so that the front wheel is off the
ground. Grip the bottom of the fork legs and turn the front end side-to-side. If the
movement is rough the bearings should be greased or replaced. If the movement is
to tight or loose the steering stem adjusting nut may need to be adjusted.
The KYMCO XCITING 400i/XCITING S 400 use ball bearings in the steering.
Always replace the races at the same time as the bearings.
