STEERING UPPER BEARING RING - FITTING

After the vehicle has been lifted, insert the steering tube into its sleeve, then lower the vehicle until the
front wheel touches the ground, apply the specific grease on the lower seat of the upper steering bearing
and fit the balls (n. 44) on the seat.
Insert the upper seat (2), the brake washer (3) and the ring nut (1) locking it with the specific key (4) to
the specified torque. Again lift the wheel from the ground, make sure that the steering wheel is free to
rotate and chamfer the brake washer (3) on one of the four grooves of the lock ring nut (1).
After the brake washer has been chamfered, assemble the remaining components of the group following
the fitting operations but in reverse order and proceed to purge air on the front brake.
