Can anyone shed some light on my predicament?  I have just tried tightening the play that I have in my neck bearings but it seems like it has maxed out.
I've tried tightening it very tight but there is still play. Should there be a washer on top of the top bearing that I am maybe missing?

Bearings seem to be OK.    7500km.    noticed nocking after a seriously rough gravel road.

Steps I followed:
  • remove handle bars
    loosen triple clamps
    loosen center pinch bolt
    tighten allen bolt in center

Not sure what was happening down at the bottom, but there was only a bearing at the top end.  (was in a bit of a rush because I was outside and it was starting to rain .... and get dark.)
