Steering Reassembly - Cagiva Navigator Workshop Manual

• Accurately clean the various seats, the external part of the steering
tube and the internal part of the steering head housing.
• Assemble the new bearing on the steering tube by using a tube of
the correct diameter placed against the external ring of the bearing.
See the figure.
• Proceed in the same way for the lower roller bearing.
• Assemble the bearing on the steering head housing by using the
appropriate tube to press down on the external diameter of the
seat as shown in the figure. Grease well, supporting the unit on an
appropriate work surface.
It is recommended to carry out this operation placing the
steering base (in relation to the spindle) on an adequate
surface.

STEERING REASSEMBLY

• After checking that the various steering components are not
damaged or worn, reassemble every part in the reverse order of
removal.
• Tighten the steering tube fixing ring nut 1.
• Turn the base of the steering several times so that the roller
bearings settle into their seats.
• Slacken by a 1/4-1/2 of a turn the ring nut 1.
• Insert the fork tubes, lightly tightening the relative screws on the
steering assembly so that the steering head and steering base are
aligned.
• Assemble the other components. Tighten the steering spindle
screws 2 to the torque pressure of 60-65 N.m. Apply LOCTITE
243.
• Replace the handlebars, the handlebar clamp and the four fixing
screws.
• After having adjusted the handlebar position, tighten the four screws
