Play in the headstock

[Skyedriver]

Sorry, I'm commandeering the forum at the minute.
The Islabike has a lot of play in the headstock, seems to be from the bottom (forks end).
I've tried tightening the top screw but has made no difference.
Anyone with a diagram or cross section through a modern set up that I can have a look at?
(I'm more used to the old long bolt and cones).
Thanks

Loosen the stem first as it is clamped on the fork and will prevent tightening if not loosened. The top bolt is only for pre load of the entire headset.

Clean and regrease perhaps if the bearings look dirty.

Good explanation here. The max torque for the stem clamp bolts is about 5nm.

We've all been there. I still can't bleed my brakes properly despite it being a 5mn job.
