4. HANDLEBAR/STEM

WARNING:
To prevent steering system damage and possible loss of control, the
stem must be inserted enough so that the minimum insertion marks are completely covered
(see Figure 14).
Add some white grease to the inside of the fork steerer tube. Before installing the
stem, ensure that you have all the parts present and installed in the correct order
(see Figure 17). For a threaded or quill stem, remove the plastic shipping cap from
the bottom of the stem (see Figure 15).
Insert the stem and handlebar assembly into the fork, making sure the stem wedge
is loose (see Figure 16). Make sure the cables are not tangled and track smoothly
on either side of the stem.
