i havnt been on my bike in about a week (usually everyday) and when i went to turn the handlebars they very stiff! i moved it about a few times and it came free again, just like normal...

strip clean and regrease."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

As said above,
Take it apart, make sure your bearings are all in good condition first then pack it full of grease. And you can put to much grease on it so just slap it on there.0 -
Cleaning with pressure (either strong garden hose or jet wash) forces water in there and they get rusty. Need a good clean and regrease.0
