Hi, I picked up a FT today and so far love it!!!
Rookie question - Rode it home about 30 miles and no problems. When I got it home and manouvering it around, I noticed that when you have the front brake on so the front wheel can't move, you can still feel a slight movement/give trough the bars/forks or something (like a few mm's I guess) as you gently try to move/rock the bike back or forward. Seems like it's coming from the stem/fork area. Again, just slight, but like something is loose (I'm sure it's not).
I guess there has to space for the bars, forks to turn, but didn't expect to feel that.
Any thoughts on this? Is it normal? Just worried something isn't tight or set-up right.
Hope my explanation makes sense
