Steering & Suspension

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | Steering stem locking nut Ref 12 · M35×1 · Qty 2 | M35×1 | 2 | Special procedure |
| Special procedure: Steering stem locking nut The owner's manual (PDF page 89) prints: "The 1st Pice:Loosen by 1/4 circle with 5.0N.m,the fastenby 35N.m,the 2nd piece:2N.m,align the groove". The order of the steps is not clear from that wording, so this site does not restate it as a sequence. This sets the steering bearing preload: get it wrong and the steering binds or develops play. Have a dealer confirm the procedure if you are unsure. The chassis workshop manual (PDF page 38) lists the nuts with an M26 thread and prints, for the lower nut, "50±5 Return by 45° Rear 35" N·m, and for the upper nut 2 N·m. The Hungarian service schedule (PDF page 2) gives a third version: loosen the first nut a quarter turn at 5 N·m and tighten to 2.2 N·m, second nut 2 N·m. We cannot verify which applies to your bike. | ||||
