Handlebar mounts
Posted: 04:08 pm Sep 27 2006
I was practicing steering with my knees as advised on this forum, as I left the bike over the handlebars my knees had another go at it but this time trying the handlebars.
I have managed to pull the handlebar rubber mount through the triple clamp whilst performing this manoeuver.
looking at it, the large washer had been bent over the nut to act as a locking tab so was easily pulled through the rubber handlebar mount as my knees had a go at steering.
I have the manual for the 89 kdx that was not rubber mounted, can someone tell me the torque setting for this nut (the one on the underside of the triple clamp), and is it a lock nut or is bending the washer over what the manual describes?
Thanks
Chris
