Inspecting bar-ends
If you are unsure of the safety of your handlebar system,
do not ride the bicycle; take the bicycle to your dealer
for adjustments.
Once a month check your bar-ends. Push down on them
to make sure they cannot rotate on the handlebars.
If the bar-ends slip, follow the procedures in Adjusting
bar-ends.
Ensure the bar-ends face forward and away from you, at
an angle not less than 15° from parallel to the ground.
Check that all bolts are tight according to the torque
specifications:
• Bar-end clamp bolts (Figure 2): 40-60 lb•in
(4.5-6.8 Nm).
If your bicycle has any carbon fiber parts, also follow
the carbon fiber composite inspection procedures on
page 13.
