i acquired a 2005.5 Adv S from a friend, and it had a really bad turning radius. the bike could not turn around on a 2 lane road... i checked the steering stops, and there was 1/2" of thread showing. on each side. i adjusted them to 3/8 showing, and checked for clearance both directions. nothing hits, and there is at least a 1/3" between the fork and headstock. i took it for a ride, and there are no issues going full lock and i can turn around much easier. is there an actual measurement for this? why did they come from the factory this wide?
They set them befor the plastics go on. You adjust it so your fork tubes don't hit. Use a piece of card stock as a feeler gauge.
I've been meaning to adjust mine for about a week. Maybe tomorrow if I remember. If your gonna do a tank slapper then your gonna do a tank slapper. Slap it!
