ADJUSTABLE STEM
1. Remove plastic packaging covering the expander

wedge. Loosen the stem expander bolt, if necessary,

so the wedge nut is in line with the stem body.

See illustration.
2. Insert the stem into the head tube past the

minimum insertion line indicated on the stem.

WARNING: The handlebar stem must be inserted

into the head tube until the minimum insertion

line indicated on the stem is completely covered.
3. Face the handlebar stem forward directly in line

with the front wheel. Make sure the fork is in the

correct position (facing forward) before tightening

the expander bolt. See illustration.
4. Tighten the expander bolt securely (turning in a

clockwise direction). Recommended torque is 20 ft. lbs.
5. STEM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT. The stem angle can be adjusted from 90 to 145 degree angle.

The adjustment screw is located UNDER the stem extension. You will need a 6mm Allen

Wrench. Loosen the 6mm Allen Screw. (DO NOT remove the screw. Loosen it only enough to

allow angle adjustment.) Adjust to the desired angle and tighten bolt securely. Check the stem

for tightness before riding. WARNING: The assembler is cautioned against the danger of

damaging the handlebar stem assembly and possible injury to the rider in overtightening

the expander bolt and expander wedge.

HANDLEBAR INSTALLATION
1. Loosen the stem clamp bolt.

2. Insert the handlebar into the stem.

3. Tighten the stem clamp bolt securely.

4. Check the handlebar for tightness. If you can

move it forward or backward, the clamp bolt is not

tight enough.

5. Check steering by straddling the front wheel and

trying to turn the handlebar. If you can turn the

handlebar without turning the front wheel. The stem is too loose. Align the handlebar with the

front wheel. Retighten the expander bolt (clockwise).
Recommended torque is 15 ft. lbs.

ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE
