to 12 Nm in 3 stages.
Adjust the steering head bearing without clearance (see: Checking and adjust-
ing the steering head support). Apply Loctite 243 to the thread of the mid-
dle clamp screw. Tighten the clamp screws on the upper triple clamp to 17
Nm in 3 stages.
The middle clamp screw must be secured with loctite 243.

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.
Checking the throttle cable installation
Both throttle cables must run parallel along the back of the handlebar down
to the frame. They must run directly on the right side of the frame above the
tank roller to the carburetor.
When mounting the tank, make sure the throttle cables stay on the side of
the frame and are not pressed down by the tank.
