Adjusting steering head angle (749/749S)
Before changing steering head angle, you must first remove
the steering damper. Unscrew the retaining screws (1 and 2)
to release the steering damper. The steering lock peg (3) is
retained with a screw (2) and must be re-positioned farther
back on refitting when steering head angle is modified.
Slacken the steering head retaining screw (4).
To change steering head angle, remove the circlips (6) and
the washers (7) and loosen the two screws (5) on the
frame right side.
Fully unscrew the screw (8) and turn the steering tube
eccentric (9) by 180° with a pin wrench. Check that the
hole on the eccentric is centred with the through hole in
the steering tube. Look at the arrow etched in the top
area of the eccentric to centre both holes accurately.
Tighten screw (8) fully home. Grease the threads of the
screws (5) with SHELL Retinax HDX2 and tighten to 22 Nm.
Refit the washer (7) and the circlip (6).
Notes
While performing the above, the handlebars should
not be fully turned.
