Tools:
10mm socket
torque wrench
6 mm L shaped allen wrench
Fork clamp bolts can be reached without removing any fairings by going in above the front fender. It may be advisable to check the the torque by breaking the bolts free just a hair first to free any corrosion or dirt. If this is done, the front should be supported on a steering pivot stand or some other means of support where all weight is removed from forks. DO NOT LOOSEN FORK CLAMPS WITHOUT FRONT BEING SUPPORTED BY SOME MEANS OTHER THAN THE FORKS.
Ohlins forks require different torque specs than OEM forks.
1. Use a 10mm socket and a torque wrench to check the lower fork clamp bolts.
Lower fork clamp bolt torque: 22 ft lbs.
/SM: “Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque.”
Check the left and right fork clamps and tighten if necessary.
2. It is not possible to fit a torque wrench and hex tool socket on the upper fork clamp. Remove the two clipon bolts to swing the clipon forward (being careful it does not come off the fork top) so that a torque wrench will clear the control button housing.
3. Check both upper fork clamps and tighten if necessary.
Upper fork clamp bolt on the top yoke is to be torqued to 15 ft lbs.
4. Install the clipons.
Handlebar holder bolts: Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque of 18 ft lbs
