    Default 2012 limited Sometimes hard to steer

    Sometimes when I'm riding the steering get real hard and heavy and I have to muscle the turn if I get off the bike let it sit for a little while or the next day or two I do not have the problem anyone have any ideas what it may be. I was thinking maybe the battery have something to do with it. but I really don't know

    Check you battery terminals for tightness. The power steering is the highest voltage draw on the bike. There have been power steering issues with some of the models in the past. If no codes and it persists have your battery load checked, it's possible that it's failing and need to be replaced.

    my tires were pointing outward like a "V".
    When you turn one tire is toward the turn and one tire is straight.
    one tire is turning and one tire is being pulled sideways.
