I've changed my triple clamps and was wondering what the procedure is for tightening the steering stem nut (tensioning the head bearings) I figure doing it right would be better then doing it to tight  | ||

Aj, just for you. page 2-56: steering stem cap nut: 38-42 ft-lbs steering stem pinch bolt: 20-22 ft-lb fork tube clamp bolts: 20-22 ft-lb page 1-49 Steering stem bearings resistance: Turn wheel far right, hook spring scale into front axle. Pull wheel to center. Scale should read b/t 1-7 lbs when wheel is pulled to center position. (Message edited by ccryder on December 02, 2009) | ||
