Just had the headset on my Sam adjusted at the LBS after discovering the upper threaded race was loose. The cable hanger seems to have acted as a lever on the race and worked it loose. The lock nut was still tight. I took it home after adjustment without riding it and discovered the steering was squirrelly. I took the front trunk bag off the rack and things improved some but it still felt dodgy Not the Sam I'm used to. Steering is "jumpy" in corners and I don't feel comfortable taking my hands off the bar.
I've lifted the wheel off the ground to observe whether the wheel falls over easily. It hesitates slightly at the straight ahead position then falls over. When I rotate the steering by hand I can feel it catch in both directions at short intervals. Before I get too excited about this does it sound like its just too tight and needs to be re-adjusted? Is the squirrelly steering a symptom of an overly tight headset? I've read about indexing, but I can't imagine its indexed after only 1500 miles.
