Introduction
Occasionally, a scooter may develop a problem with the steering column where it becomes either too difficult or too easy for the user to steer the scooter. This guide will demonstrate how to adjust the tightness of the steering column by adjusting two rotating nuts on the column.

-
Locate the tightening assembly. The tightening assembly consists of:
-
An upper nut
-
A lower nut

-
If loosening the steering column, follow these steps:
-
Turn the upper nut counterclockwise.
-
Turn the lower nut counterclockwise until it is tight against the upper nut.
-
If the steering column is still too tight, repeat the above two steps until reaching the desired steering column looseness.
-
If tightening the steering column, follow these steps:
-
Turn the lower nut clockwise until reaching the desired steering column tightness.

what move it with your hands? - didn't help
I couldn't turn this by hand. not sure who writes this advice. trying a pipe wrench.
Thank you for showing the way how to adjust Razor scooter. This instruction help me to adjust my scooter.
My son just opened his brand new razor scooter and the head set is very loose. From past bicycle experience this will cause premature bearing failure and likely strip out the steering stem. This will in turn cost more to repair than it would be to replace the entire scooter. Are these headsets supposed to be loose from the factory?
I can’t get it, gonna have to bring it in a bike shop for repair
Thank you so much! You made my day.
