[QUOTE="Vester, post: 24469, member: 17173"] Actually it is significant. Forks that aren't centered can cause binding, stiction and other problems. Heres what I do. I tighten the axle nut. I go ahead and tighten the axle clamp on the right side. This would be the side if I were standing in front of the bike looking at the fron number plate. Make sure the left side is loose. Sometimes I pry it with a srew driver to make sure it is loose. Stand in front of the bike. Hold your knees against the front wheel, grab the bars and pull down on the bike compressing the forks several times. This will help to center them. Finally spin the front tire and then lock the front wheel with the brake. Now tighten the left side and torque it. All done [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] You shouldn't have to use loc-tite on the fasteners. If anything I would use anti-seize or a thin grease agent and then tighten to the proper torque. ------------------ Vester 96 RM250 "Let's see if an "A" rider tries it first.." [/QUOTE]
