BMW Mountain Bike Enduro Owner's Manual page 76

Carefully retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench (a). Try rotating the
handlebars once clamped in the stem and tighten the bolt a little more, if
necessary. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum tight-
ening torque! You will find the prescribed values in chapter "Recom-
mended Tightening Torques", directly on the components and/or in
the manuals of the component manufacturers.
After adjusting the handlebar you need to adjust the brake and shift
levers.
Release the Allen bolt at either grip binder. Turn the levers relative to the
handlebars. Sit in the saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight line with the line
of your forearm. Retighten the grips with a torque wrench
twist test!
Note that the bolted connections of the stem, handlebars,
bar ends, and brakes have to be tightened to their specified
torques. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
tightening torque! You will find the prescribed values in chapter
"Recommended Tightening Torques", directly on the com-
ponents and/or in the manuals of the component manufactur-
ers.

Bar ends give you additional ways of gripping.
They are usually fixed in a position that gives the rider a comfortable grip
when pedalling out of the saddle, i.e. almost parallel to the ground or
tilted slightly upwards (by about 25°) (d).
Release the bolts, which are usually located on the bottom side of the
bar ends, by one to two complete turns.
Turn the bar ends to the desired position making sure the angle is the
same on both sides.
Retighten the bolts to the required torque.
Check whether the bar ends are firmly fixed by trying to twist them out
of position.
Note that the distance you need to stop your bicycle increases,
while riding with your hands on bar ends. The brake levers are
not always within easy reach.
Never fix bar ends in a vertical position or with their ends point-
ing towards the rear as this would increase the risk of injury in
the event of an accident.
