Some people have made me aware, that I haven't given all the torque settings. So they are as follows. Steering head adjuster nut 40nm, slacken off re-torque to 15nm. Add washer, then locking nut 40nm. Top yoke nut 90nm.

What is the torque spec of the castle nut 4:27? Mine came loose while riding 😮 29:20 you said the top cap/castle nut is 90nm? Wonder why mine came loose…

Hi, Your ulterior motive - I am in the same predicament. How is that peg holding up with JB Weld? Great videos, btw :)

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

Yeah it’s still holding, wouldn’t try slamming it lock to lock though👍🏼

[@kevincraig8257]

Ive also seen when installing the calipers to apply some tension to the brake lever to center the pads does that sound right ?

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

The owners manual doesn’t ask for it, I’ve done it both way, doesn’t appear to make any difference.

Hi, question on your windscreen. How good is it at blocking more wind over 100km/h?

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

It make almost no difference, just think it looks nicer 😁

[@alistairfergusson6017]

Hi, very helppful video. Not sure you stated the torque for the locking castle nut on theheadstock (not the 90Nm cap nut). Can't find info anywhere so would appreciateif you have it? Thanks 👍

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

Hi I think its 40nm, same as the adjuster nut. But you don't slacken off, but will double check and get back to you next week 👍

[@alistairfergusson6017]

@@notamotorbikemechanic thanks Bud. That would be helpful.

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

Hi Alistair, just to confirm. It is 40nm on the adjuster nut, slacken off then 15nm. Lock nut is 40nm👍
