(Later tighten completely to adjust the alignment
between handlebar and front wheel).

shims are in the correct order.

rear one
(6.2.1)
,
repeat for the front (15-18 Nm) or until
star washers are locked

Align ball joint to fork tab, so it moves smoothly through
the steering cycle (without unlocking star washers)
(6.2.3)
Adjust Steering Rod length and angle at the clamp with 2x
4mm hex bolts (so the tire doesn’t rub arm or oversteer
when handlebar is turned all the way left or right)
Tighten bolts (5Nm). Adjust alignment between
handlebar and front wheel so the bike rides straight.
Fully torque the steering arm clamp to the steering rod
2x 5mm hex bolts (7-9Nm).
