SETTING UP THE HANDLEBARS
1. If necessary, loosen the Handlebar Clamp Screw(s) (A) and rotate Handlebar (2) into
a comfortable riding position. Tighten Handlebar Clamp Screw(s) (A) securely.
NOTE:
Do not over tighten. Torque to 14-17 ft-lbs.
WARNING:
If the handlebar clamp in not tight enough, the handlebar can slip in the
stem. This can cause damage to the handlebar or stem, and can cause loss of control.
TESTING STEM AND HANDLEBAR TIGHTNESS
To test the tightness of the stem:
• Straddle the front wheel between your legs. Try to turn the front wheel by turning
the handlebar.
• If the handlebar and stem turn without turning the front wheel, realign the stem
with the wheel and tighten the stem bolt(s) tighter than before (about 1/2 revolution
only at a time).
• Do this test again, until the handlebar and stem do not turn without turning the
front wheel
To test the tightness of the handlebar clamp:
• Hold the bicycle stationary and try to move the ends of the handlebar up and down.
If the handlebar moves, loosen the bolt(s) of the handlebar clamp.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 100 lbs downward force.
• Put the handlebar in the correct position and tighten the bolt(s) of the handlebar
clamp tighter than before. If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the
bolts equally.
• Do this test again, until the handlebar does not move in the handlebar clamp.
SEAT INSTALLATION
Attach Seat to Seat Post:
1. Loosen nuts on seat clamp (A) and rotate Seat (8) into riding position. Put the seat
post (9) fully through the seat clamp (A).
