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.
