WARNING
Always return the handlebars and risers to their original position. Operating the motorcycle with a handlebar
position that is unfamiliar may lead to loss of control or an accident.
Note the orientation of the adjustable risers, in order that they can be returned to the same position when the
repair operation is complete. 1.
Raise and support the front of the motorcycle. 2.
Note
The bolt positions shown below are in the standard position, as delivered from the factory. If the
handlebars have been adjusted, the bolt positions will be reversed.

As an assembly, raise the handlebars until clear of the top yoke. Rest the assembly forward of the steering
stem such that access to the headstock top nut and the adjustment nuts is unrestricted. Ensure the master
cylinder remains in an upright position. 4.
Loosen the top yoke clamp bolts. 5.
WARNING
If the lower yoke fixings are also loosened, the forks will no longer support the weight of the motorcycle.
Do not loosen the lower yoke fixings as, in this condition, the motorcycle could topple over causing damage
and/or risk of injury.
CAUTION
Care must be taken when removing the headstock top nut, to ensure that the top nut and top yoke do not
become scratched. Protect the surfaces with a suitable cloth or tape to prevent scratching.
Remove the headstock upper nut and its washer. Discard the washer. 6.
