Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent it
from falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
1.
Position the forks within the yokes so that the top of the fork outer tube is level with the upper surface of the
upper yoke. Ensure that the TSAS damping motor connector is aligned with the clamp slip line in the upper
yoke.
2.
Tighten the lower yoke clamp bolts to 25 Nm.

If the forks have been dismantled, carry out the following:
Note the orientation of the adjustable handlebar risers, in order that they can be returned to the same
position when the repair operation is complete.
Note
The bolt positions shown below are in the standard position, as delivered from the factory. If the
handlebars have been adjusted, the bolt positions will be reversed.
Remove the handlebar rear (8 mm threaded) clamp bolts, and then the front (10 mm threaded) clamp and
riser bolts.
As an assembly, raise the handlebars until clear of the top yoke. Rest the assembly forward of the steering
stem such that access to the fork top caps is unrestricted. Ensure the clutch and front brake master
cylinders remain in an upright position.
Using T3880643 - Fork Top Cap Socket, tighten the fork top cap to 40 Nm.
If necessary, loosen the lower yoke clamp bolts and realign the TSAS damping motor connection with the
clamp split line in the upper yoke. Ensure the top of the fork outer tube remains level with the upper surface
