x Note that height adjustments to A-head handlebar stems, which cover the fork
stem and are clamped with bolts from outside, require expertise. With this type
of handlebar stem, the handlebar height is adjusted using spacing washers and
limited by the fork stem length.
x Have your dealer carry out the adjustment.
4.3.2 Adjusting the handlebar stem tilt
Depending on the cycle model, the cycle may be equipped with a handlebar stem that
includes a tilt angle adjustment mechanism. The handlebar tilt must be adjusted so that
your wrists and forearms are in line when riding.
x Carefully loosen the side screw until the
splines release.
x Press the screw head with your thumb
to loosen the handlebar stem.
x Adjust the tilt of the movable handlebar
stem to your liking.
x Press the loosened adjustment
mechanism back into the handlebar
stem until the pawl is correctly engaged
with the splines.
x Tighten the screw by turning it
clockwise, using the recommended
torque.
4.3.3 Aligning the handlebars
The handlebars must be at a 90° angle to the
front wheel.

dealer if they are not perpendicular to
the front wheel (see “Illustr.: Correct
