Adjusting the handlebars and stem
You have the option of adjusting your bike cockpit
to suit your needs.
Stem
You can adjust the height of the stem with the spacer
rings between the headset and stem.
To change the stem height, you must first loosen the
stem clamping screw. Unscrew the M4 Allen screw
from the headset cap and remove it. You can now
take the stem off the fork shaft. Remove the spacer
rings under the stem to lower the position of the stem.
Please note that at least one spacer ring must be
located between the stem and headset. You can also
adjust the height of the headset by turning it.
Install the stem by placing it on the fork shaft. Place
the spacer rings you removed over the stem onto the
fork shaft.
This is absolutely necessary in order to properly adjust
the headset play without having to shorten the fork
shaft.
Screw the headset cap back in and proceed as
described in the chapter “Adjusting Ahead-set head-
sets” on p. 53.
Adjusting the bike to the user
Headset play.
Headset play may damage the
headset, the stem and fork shaft. There is a risk of
an accident. Always use the factory default number
of spacer rings.
Clamping in the stem.
Inadequate clamping in
the stem poses a risk of crashing. Do not apply force
when making adjustments to the stem.
Changes to the handlebars and stem.
The handle-
bars and stem are components which are essential for
bike safety. Modifying them may endanger the safety
of the bike. Consult a bike specialist if you are not
sure how to set them correctly. Only use original spare
parts approved by Porsche. Make sure that the stem
handlebar combination has been approved by the
respective manufacturers.
