[kwikaz]

......10 Nm

why r the forks so far up, so it doesnt hit the head or wat??

 

[THUMPY125]

are you undoing them or tightening them up, because if you are undoing them you can do it with a spanner and some oomf.

To stop them from bottoming out ... by reducing any travel they may have LOL

 

[kwikaz]

10 nm

so mountain is that 10 nm cold or when the motor is warm?? is that a silly quesion??

 

[themountain]

there are no silly questions its when the motor is cold !!

I actually think it is so that if they were flush, the front end of the bike would be about 4" higher than it is, which would look rather cool, but not the look kwikaz is going for I believe.

 

[kwikaz]

kool

so peg leg do you feel if i jack up the front it will look better??

 

[pegleg]

I think it would look awesome, stretched out chopper looking, but I also think that it would be a lot scarier to ride. You would spend a lot of the time on the back wheel.
I can't think who said it before but I also like the cafe racer look of the bike as it is, it would handle really well too.
The good thing about it is that you can adjust the look of the thing with just the turn of a few Allen bolts, but it is up to you on how you want it set up.
All I know is that I want it....lol

[minidirt]

have you looked into how much front travle you have and the distance between the top of your fork stanchions and lower tripple clamp, wouldn't want them bumping together to hard.

and i'd do the head up to around 15nm i think.
Though i don't usually use a tq wrench, i just do them up to what feels good.
i only really get the torque wrench out when working on bigger stuff.

Just tighten until you hear "snap"



j/k I think its 12nm, but don't take our word for it, find it written down on paper somewhere (manual or something).

8 ft pounds is sufficient. It is important to correctly torque up your head bolts. Above all, resist the urge to overtighten!

 

[Terra-moto-Ash]

strip it and turn it back a bit.... It should of come with a manual....
