[QUOTE="[-V-]icious, post: 24468, member: 19275"] Forgot to add a thing or two here to wrap it up. I'm a little sketchy on the re-installation of my forks. I went out and bought TWO torque wrenches. As it turns out, the first TW I bought was for 45-250 foot pounds.. way too much (no pun intended). I then bought a 5-100 foot pound torque wrench. I understand it's important to torque those triple clamp bolts just right.. not too tight and not too loose (for obvious reasons). 1. Should I thread lock the triple clamp bolts? 2. Any insight on installing the forks properly without having them "bind" because of a misalignment with the wheel? 3. Should I threadlock the axle clamp bolts? There's a technique out there that explains how to adjust the forks in the triple clamps so that binding does not happen but I failed to comprehend part of the procedure. Here's the snippet I'm talking about: Forks been off ? Are they HARSH? Check this: When forks are put on the motorcycle, it is very important to align the tubes. This is done by first tightening the axle all the way. The tubes are then aligned by pumping the forks up and down with the right hand axle clamp loose. This will line the tubes up so they don't "bind". Finally don't foget to tighten the the axle clamp. (And of course have fun!) So after I pump the forks up and down, do I tighten the right axle clamp with the bike on it's own free weight? Maybe this doesn't matter and I'm worrying about nothing significant.
