Is it normal for the stem to have a little bit of wiggle, or should it be completely tight?

Scooters are made to "wiggle" a bit where the bars+fork meet the deck. Pull up on the handlebars, if they aren't secured properly to the fork then you may have to tighten the clamp. Always refer to the instructions that are provided in the user manual before using the product.

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

For me it was pretty stiff, i moved it around a couple times and it didn't move a bit. And i mean once you settle it in place, why would it matter? (PS. I used 16-gauge wires and it makes it pretty tight and that could be why it's stiff for me.)

I do not have that problem. It is not stiff, but definitely not jiggly. You may want to return.

I have no issues with the bike except it could have a tighter seat. Call a local bike company and maybe they could help you.

Sorry, don't have any either. I agree with Roger C. - find another creative way if you can't find the clamps. Maybe roll some tape (electrical or duct) around the stem until it's thicker than the hole of the weight bands - but this also may be difficult if you reposition often.

Well, hmm, after you loosen the bolt using the handle it should slide right out. I would recommend pliers and a rag over the stem and twist out. FYI: I superglued the nuts so that they don't fall out of the casing. Hope you know what I'm talking about. I almost lost one. Hope this helped out a bit. Take care!

Hello,Scott,..As far as I can tell,the stem is probably a screw in with a bolt.It is a great stand.Nice and heavy and sturdy.

I'd like it to get tighter, but it's still really nice. it doesn't move when riding.

It did jiggle some depending on how much you tighten it. I just tightened it more and it's been fine.

I found mine to be a tight when i got it, but after openning and closing the mechanism for a couple of times. it became workable. But still a bit tight but not as.

I have this stem on my trail bike and have had no problems. Seems real sturdy, but I myself don't put a lot of weight on it. Kalloy makes a very good product.

This happened to me also. I believe that the metal piece that supports the stem is not quite straight but I'm not sure about that. I did notice, before that happened, that I had difficulty getting the pieces to separate...could be the reason. I have not had any more trouble with breakage but the tightness is still there. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. I have ordered a new processor, same model, but wanted the same size so that I could still use all my various blades & bowls. Time will tell if that fixes the problem.

Mine isn't wobbly,it is nice and tight. I could barely connect the top with the bottom because they are so snug.

It sounds like it is in a locked position. Twist the top stem part, until it releases, and is able to push down.

Mine is a very tight fit. I remember being forceful with it. Even now its a very tight fit. Hope that helps.
