I bought a new Kawasaki KLX 250 that was shipped to me. I had to install the front tire but not so sure I did it correct now.
1. Should I have applied grease to axel before pushing through tire?
2. Does grease need to be applied to spedometer attached to right side of tire?
3. There was a spacer for the left side of tire (viewed while sitting on bike) that looked like a gentelmens top hat. Does the brim end go towards the tire or fork?
4. When removing/installing tire do you remove the axel clamp completly or loosen to be able to slide axel in and or out.
She's got one mile on it but I want to make sure it together correct before I start breaking her in.
Anybody have any torque specs for axel or just tighten?
