Sealed headsets need to be compressed together to work correctly. The
compression system gives this necessary pressure to help the bearings sit
in place true and straight. When set-up correctly, this system allows the
bearings to spin freely and smoothly whilst at the same time eliminating
all headrock which is commonly found in threaded style headsets systems.
The inner bearings are a consumable item and will need changing over
time to keep the headset performing at its best.
The headset needs to be adjusted correctly to allow it to
perform at its best and to suit the rider. If it wobbles, feels too
loose or too tight, follow the simple instructions below to set it
to the riders preferences.
Step 1:
Loosen the four clamp bolts with the 5mm allen keys
Loosen the front axle bolts using the 5mm allen keys, and push
the axle through to allow the front wheel to drop out from the
forks.
Step 2:
Locate the bottom of the adjuster rod in the forks and
insert a 5mm allen key into the bolt head. Hold the top nut still
to prevent it from spinning, and turn the allen key to adjust the
headset.
To tighten the headset turn the allen key clockwise, and to
loosen the headset turn it anti-clockwise. After adjustment the
headset should turn easily but there should be no movement
or headrock. Once its adjusted, reverse step 1 to reassemble the
scooter.
