Installing the Handlebars
•
Loosen and remove the clamping bolts holding the face plate
on the top or front of the stem.
•
Apply a little grease to the threads of the bolts before threading
them back into the stem.
•
Place the handlebars in the stem
•
Use the knurling (the rough area) on the handlebars to help
center them in the stem.
•
Place the face plate back on and start threading the bolts into
the stem body.
•
Tighten the stem clamp bolts in a cross pattern. Be careful not
to over tighten the bolts, as you can crush the bars or strip the
threads in the stem. Loose stem bolts can also strip the bars
clamp area.
•
As you are tightening the bolts, the gap between the face plate
and stem body needs to be the same all of the way around.
