I have a roketa 250 (small frame) and its steering is super loose. It doesnt feel like there is an excessive amount of play,but compared to my twister 150 the steering is terrible. Any suggestions or have any of you had this problem? is there a way to tighten the steering up? any help would be awesome. Thanks Kevin

if it has rack and pinion then there is a big nut where the steering shaft enters. remove the cap and adjust the nut under it

You may also want to see how tight, or loose, your tie rod ends are where they mount to the strut.

Thank You, I found that nut, it was actually a big allen head bolt under that cover. I tightened the nut and it did the job. Thank you for the help :D, my headache is gone, Happy riding Kevin Ginni

Thank you Ron, I checked the tie rod ends and they were pretty tight. Thats something I will keep an eye on in the future because that rubber gromet thing looks a little worn. Thanks again Ron, Kevin Ginni :D

At some point check your inner tie rods also. One of mine came out of the rack last weekend on a speed run and nearly caused a wreck. Just make sure they are screwed into the rack all the way and the locknuts are tightened. Not causing your problem, but something to look out for.
