Puch Maxi - Is this normal for a fork ?

Fork appears loose at the triple tree/steering stem. Doesn't seem right or safe to me.

See video here.

Fork loose at top

Thanks.

It doesn't just appear loose , it is loose .

Run that bolt in 'til it's tight on the tree .

So, tighten it? Give everything a once over.

Well waddya know !!! Loose as a goose. Both of them. Not sure why I didn't even THINK if tightening them before asking...

I guess I was wondering if there were some kind of spacers/cones/shims/seals etc that may have gone bad. Shoulda checked tightness first. Duh !!

All fixed.

You’ll find that Lots of things just work loose on mopeds. Lots of vibrations. Blue loctite is your new friend. Don’t use red!
