BACKGROUND
If a customer complains of loose handlebars (up and down movement) on a 2018 GL1800, the
problem may be due to improper installation of the steering stem nut at the factory. If the steering
stem nut becomes loose, the handlebars can move up and down (Please note: front to rear handle-
bar movement is normal). A video providing instructions how to inspect the handlebars for loose-
ness, inspect the steering stem (if needed), and replace the steering stem (if needed) can be found
under the Reference Material section in this service bulletin. Written instructions can be found
under the Inspection Procedure and Repair Procedure sections in this service bulletin.

Only 2018 GL1800 model motorcycles with a confirmed loose handlebar are affected by this bulletin.
