Check that the steering stops work as they
should. The damper should not act as a steering
stop since that can damage and possibly break
the steering damper.

First loosen the top nut and then the slit screw.
Tighten them again, first the top nut to 10 Nm
and then the slit screw to 30 Nm (higher than
recommended).
14.
Tighten all screws for the triple clamps to
recommended tightening torque.
15.
Tighten the top nut again to 20 Nm.
16.
Install every removed part in reverse order.
17.
Finally install the centre lid by pressing it into
the hex opening. Use a M6 screw and a pair of
pliers if you must remove the lid.
Note! Do
not try
to remove the lid with a screwdriver - the lid will
break!
Your installation is finished - Enjoy your Öhlins
product!
Reset the adjusters according to following:
The adjusters have a normal right hand thread.
Turn the damping adjusters clockwise to fully
closed (pos. zero [0]). To open, turn counter
clockwise, and count the clicks until you reach
the recommended number.
For more information read your Öhlins Owner’s
manual.
