Sanity Check - Did I assemble this correctly?

Post by pdiddy »

Putting the steering back together for a KX fork swap, just want to verify I did this correctly.

Parts in order, top to bottom:

KDX top nut
KDX top washer
KX top triple clamp
Spacer/sleeve
KDX stem nut
KDX dust cover
Top bearing
Head tube
Bottom bearing
KX lower triple clamp

Here are some photos:

I am not sure, but from the pic I see, it looks like you have the stem nut up side down....

RB spacer/sleeve?

I did not realize you had a RB Mod for forks?

Ah, thanks Ron. You are right, the stem nut was on upside down. I thought it was strange there weren't more threads showing on the top of the stem after the top nut was put on, but I couldn't see why.
