Welcome to our friend from Norway......

The cables by the steering head that are held with nylon ties have been known to brake because the ties are too tight from the factory and as the handlebars move from side to side the wires eventually break.

It is somewhat common on the early bikes, so if you have other problems look there and remove the ties for good.

Good luck
