CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE
STEERING PLAY
Periodically check the play of the steer-
ing head tube by moving the forks
backwards and forwards as shown in
the fi gure. If any play is felt, carry out
the adjustment by following these steps:
• Unscrew the four screws A.
• Pull out handlebar B, paying special
attention to clevises C.
• Loosen nut D.
• Loosen the two screws F.
• Reduce the play by turning ring E.
To refi t the parts, follow the reverse
procedure.
Note
Proper adjustment must leave no play
and cause no stiffness, and allow the
steering to rotate smoothly. Check the
fi tting direction of the clevises as it can
alter the geometry of the handlebar.
