How to change the handlebar position
The handlebar position can be readjusted by 22 mm. Thus, you can put the
handlebar in the position that is the most convenient for you. The upper triple
clamp [1] includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0.6 in) from
one another. The bores at the handlebar support [2] are offset from the cen-
ter by 3.5 mm (0.13 in). Accordingly, you can mount the handlebar in
4 different positions.
For this purpose, remove screws [3] of the handlebar clamps and screws [4]
of the handlebar support. Position the handlebar support, and tighten screws
[4] to 40 Nm (30 ft.lbs). Mount the handlebar and handlebar clamps, and
tighten screws [3] to 20 Nm (15 ft.lbs). The gap between the handlebar sup-
port and the handlebar clamps should be the same size in the front and in
the rear.
The screws [4] must be secured with loctite 243.
Adapting the chain guide to the number of rear sprocket teeth
(XC, EXC Six Days, EXC-E Six Days)
NOTE:
The position of the chain guide must be adjusted due to the large number of
rear sprockets available. Up to 44 teeth, insert the retaining screw on the
chain guide in the lower hole [B], from 45 teeth in the upper hole [C].
Loosen the screw [5] and remove screw [6]. Tilt the chain guide down and
insert the collard bush [7] in the respective hole.
Tighten the screws to 10 Nm.
