To avoid the dismantling of the bearings seats it is advisable to mount one bear-
ing seat on each bush; to assemble the bearing seats onto the bushes, lightly
strike on seats circumference using an aluminium drift as shown on the picture.
Assemble the bushes (3) onto the steering head tube and check that the dimen-
sions S1 and S2 correspond to the indicated values on the above table.
NOTE
Different settings from those illustrated are not possible. Any different
assembly attempt may cause damage to the steering components and
compromise their functionality rendering dangerous the vehicle use.
