Modern Vespa

Hi everyone,

I have a 2013 mp3 500. Today on my ride to work the bike feels....well different....

When I'm riding in a straight line it feels like it's pulling me a bit left and right.
The steering feels stiffer. I can still turn the handlebars and lean but there's more resistance, like I'm prone to go wide when turning.
It's when turning left and right, but maybe more resistance when turning left.

I had my bike serviced 3 months ago and they said the bike had developed a steering notch - but they fixed this and said it would not happen again (£600).

Any ideas? Thanks everyone

PS I don't know much about bikes so am limited with what repairs etc I'd be able to do myself

Sounds like notch.
How much did it cost to fix it the first time?

You could grease your bearings but this should have been done when they were changed ?
Which part of UK are you ?

Maddison Sully - cost £600 (UK)

Brasseye - I'm in Wolverhampton, west midlands. Had it fixed initially at QB motorcycles, Brierley hill

Don't forget to check back tire ain't flat

Bring it Back to the Shop that "Fixed it..."

Yeah, missed that on first glance.

I'm with klaborde here; bring it back to the shop.
Sounds like they didn't back off the bearing when they put the new one in.
Either that, or not enough lube.
