[QUOTE="JTT, post: 152924, member: 19620"] Start by loosening everything off, front wheel, triple clamps, and steering stem nut. Eye straighten. Now start to tighten everything back down. Start with triple clamps. Make sure you torque them to spec so that no pinching is present. Then tighten stem nut to spec. Tighten front axle nut, leaving pinch bolts loose at first. Spin wheel and apply brake a couple of times. Now tighten the left side (brake side) pinch bolts. Spin wheel and apply brake several times again, now you can tighten right pinch bolts. This little procedure will help prevent binding from forks misaligning when tightening front wheel. Before you tighten those last (right side) pinch bolts, try grabing the lower leg and moving it...you will see that it will move to some degree on the axle, you are just making sure that it is in a neutral, relaxed position. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
