Handlebars

1. Flip the fore/aft adjustment lever up.
2. Move the handlebars forward until the fore/
aft adjustment lever nut is visible through the
hole on the underside of the handlebar post.
Notice: If a torque wrench is not available,
please skip to Step 4.
3. Close the fore/aft adjustment lever, then use
a torque wrench with a 11mm deep socket
to tighten the fore/aft lever adjustment nut
to 3 Nm (2.21 Ft-Lbs). This will conclude the
procedure.
4. With the fore/aft adjustment lever up, tighten
the adjustment lever nut 1/4 of a turn, then
close the adjustment lever and check the
function by pushing backwards on the
handlebars - they SHOULD NOT move.
5. Repeat Step 4 as needed until the handlebars
are tight. This will conclude the procedure.
