Assembly
1. Assemble steering assembly using Figure 7 as a
guide.
A. Shim steering shaft (with gear) and sector gear
with thrust washers as needed to align gear tops.
Gears should not contact flange bushings.
B. Adjust steering tube ball joints equally so that
steering sector gear and rear wheel fork are perpen-
dicular to the frame.
C. If rear wheel fork was removed, secure fork to
frame with washers and cap screw. Torque cap
screw from 60 to 80 ft–lb (81 to 108 N–m). Make sure
that fork rotates freely after cap screw has been tight-
ened.
2. After assembly is complete, make sure that steering
components do not contact hoses or wires.
