HI;
My 2021 Rocket 3 GT makes a clunking noise when I come to a stop. Took it to the dealer, and they claim the steering head bolt is lose and requires tightening. They want $250 to do so. The bike is still under warrantee (~2500 miles on it), and claim it is not covered.
Questions:
Is this something easy to do by novice mechanic?
Do you know the torque specs?
Does it require any special tools?
Any other insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
The noise could be your front brake discs, they are floating disc and have some play in them. I can hear mine going over a bumpy area when I don't have my helmet on.
 
That is what I thought and told them so. They claimed that is not the case. I just came back from the dealer, they said they will do it as a good will measure at their expense. Will see if that takes care of it.
