my steering stem wiggles all around a little, there is like a small space in the holder thing(right infront of the gas tank(idk wat its called)), is this bad or is it normal

i just noticed it last nite while adjusting my rear shock
 
dude im having the same problem its get so annoying, i noticed it the other day when i was riding
 
there is 2 small rubber bushings in side of the steering stem clamp they are bad, im not sure if you can get just the bushings or if its a whole new clamp!! I just look around for a piece of rubber that will work ,and make my own and ever since its been fine with no play
 
will it hurt it if it wiggles just a little, if it aint gonna hurt it i wont mess with it case it dosent bother me that much
 
You can buy the rubbers from your local yamaha shop and it'll run you about $4 for both, i too had too replace mine.
 
i grabbed ahold of the bars to get on to see what my sag was and when i grabed ahold i noticed they moved, i know it seems weird but i tend to notice a lot of little stuff when working on sumthing else
