Mechanical Issue

[williamhawk]

Just bought a used bike. Bike is in great condition, but the previous owner had not ridden it in quite some time. I think the bike sitting for a long period of time might have caused this issue, and here goes:

When I put any pressure on the handlebars etc, it becomes difficult to turn the handlebars. I guess I shouldn't say hard, but it is very stiff. Is this just a tightening issue, or does the headset and/or steer tube need lube?

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!

Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
