Anyone got this/figured out the Steering Assembly Play? Is this normal, or is there a fix?

My 2015 Spyder RT-S with 13k miles on it has about 3/8” play at the end of the hand grips. When I had it apart I checked for this slop on the steering shaft. It isn’t there. It is all up top below the ignition switch. I tried searching for this with negative results. Is this normal on this model? Anyone else had this problem and figured it out. Thanks for reading.

Shaun Smoak did a video a few years ago about the excessive play with the handle bars. Do a you tube search. Good luck.

One of the things that will cause this is pushing on the bars to move the Spyder around. I have a bad seat and armrest on mine, as they work great for pushing.
