What do you mean it won't stay? Do you mean it lossens or something? If so get the lock washer and it'll stay put. I had that problem witht the big nut on top loosening when I turned the wheel one way and tightening when I turned it the other... So get the locking threaded washer from your local bike shop for like a dollar or two and it should be all fixed! Good luck and lemme know if you have anymore problems with it!

Hmm.... I don't know.. if the bike shop couldn't fix it then either they suck of it's beyond repair... Try the washer and let me know what happenes...

buy a new stem or gooseneck...it sounds like its not tight at the top where the handlebars are.(if it moves freely like u said) but also make sure ur barings r greased up and even try putting a washer in the top part of the headset somewhere so it will slide easy! hope some of this helped....i dont really understand what ur problem is though
