If the stem is not inserted into the top nut to at least the
“Minimum Insertion” mark, it is possible to over-tighten
the stem bolt and damage the fork steerer tube. If these
instructions are not followed, it could cause an unsafe
condition and risk injury to the rider. Check steering tightness
prior to riding by straddling the front wheel. Try turning the
handlebar. If you can turn it without turning the front wheel,
the stem is too loose. Re-align the handlebar with the front
wheel and re-tighten the stem bolt.

Minimum Insertion Line is below the top nut of the headset.
Align the stem and handlebar so it is in line with the front wheel.4.
