Message: [QUOTE="kmx125r, post: 89013, member: 18576"] Hey All, I came across two separate threads on this forum asking about aligning forks and front wheels... (apparently kicking your front tire into position after you dump it is not the best procedure!) My concern is that both very knowlegeable persons had conflicting torque specs on the triple clamps. Actually the texts of the procedure were IDENTICAL except for the torque specs. Can someone address the issue? I have my bike sitting in the shop with the front end in the air waiting on the answer... One answer had the following specs: TOP CLAMP 280 inch pounds BOTTOM CLAMP 220 inch pounds The other: TOP CLAMP 220 inch pounds BOTTOM CLAMP 168 inch pounds Any guidance would be appreciated...
