Tightening Tests:
Test the tightness of the stem bolts:
• Straddle the front wheel and hold it between your legs.
• Gently try to turn the front wheel by turning the handlebar.
• If the handlebar and stem turn on the fork realign the stem with the wheel and
tighten the stem bolt(s) tighter than before (about 1/4 revolution at a time).
• Repeat this test until the stem does not move on the fork.
Test the tightness of the handlebar clamp:
• Hold the bicycle stationary.
• Gently try to move the ends of the handlebar forward / backward or up / down.
• If the handlebar moves loosen the handlebar clamp bolt(s) and relocate the
handlebar in the correct position. Tighten the handlebar clamp bolt(s) tighter than
before (about 1/4 revolution at a time).
• If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the bolts equally.
• Repeat this test until the handlebar does not move in the handlebar clamp.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the bolts. Over-tightening the bolts can damage
the steering system and cause loss of control.
• If the handlebar clamp bolt(s) or stem clamp bolts are not tight enough the handle-
bar can slip in the stem or the stem can slip on the fork. This can damage the
handlebar or stem and cause loss of control.
