Status: offline 		the spring is part of the crash back system which is to save the servo from damage, you either need more lean angle or are traveling to fast or holding the steering on while lent over pushing the front wide all the time. i normal down to speed the slower you go tighter the turn

Status: offline 		Drills have a habit of doing that,after a few OWBs breaking it'll have cost more in bearings than buying a proper aircraft type starter.A drill is too slow and it's the torque that breaks the bearings.

If you use a proper engine starter it'll spin the engine faster and any hydraulic lock will just stop the starter rather than break the bearing.

Status: offline 		if you meen the steering damper then yes you need shock oil in there, 10 wt should be good enough but if starts to tank slap try uping the weight of the oil

Status: offline 		steering these bikes is just like steering a real motorcyle. Most people dont understand the countersteering process. On a real bike you can lean off your bike to change the center of gravity on the bike so you are able to give more steering input. These bikes steer the same way, but since you cant change the center of gravity you cant just keep adding more steering input at speed. Once you have started your turn let off the gas just a little and then return your steering to neutral. This will let the front wheel go straight after it is leaning witch will make the bike turn better. Of course if you dont let of the gas enough the bike will go straight back up. Takes time to perfect the tight turns. If you just keep giving more input at speed it will not do anyting. Hope this helps, kinda hard to explain.
