    For a surprise, check the pull weight on the forks after you crank down the top nut to spec. Bye bye setting.

    Well done. I did it on my suzy 12 '01 . it works really good. 400g in left and 280 g in right handle bar side. The first nut seems to be not tight but when you set the upper one at specific torque all works correctly. Just one thing: the seal of upper bearing . I had to remove it because keylock didn't engage properly. Too high to get its place. I remove the all balls upper seal and simply reinstall the original rubber seal and it goes well.

      I'm looking to do my 6th Gen. The forks shake badly if you let go or loosen pressure. I've tried new tires, balancing nothing has worked.

  • @paulacabbo466
    @paulacabbo466 Před rokem

    what range would you say the torque of the adjusting nut ends up being in the end, I'm just looking for your best guess here, I'm guessing somewhere between 26 to 36 inch lbs. have you ever put a torque wrench directly on the nut to see?

    Shane, great video. I have a relatively new 2017 GSXR 1000, it has 2500 miles on it. I am getting a, what sounds horrible to me, Cracking sound when applying hard braking, and be replicated with bike off, push bike forward, hard brake, and push down on handle bars with force at the same time, Crack, move in reverse, brake hard, pull up on handle bars with force, Crack! Seems like it is competing from handle bar area, and near steering stem for what I can narrow down. Is a cracking sound something the steering stem bearings could make?

      It sure is David. I started this program in 2010 and left in 2018 to work at Suzuki USA. Sadly the program closed 2 years later. I sure miss it. I'll assume your familiar with WITCC in Sioux City, Iowa?

    Had the head bearing replaced recently and the bike began to get this high speed full frame wobble very discouraging. What woult symptoms feel like if the bear were over tightened>

    • @declanmercer2587
      @declanmercer2587 Před rokem

      I know this was 3 years ago but just for anyone else with the same problem, this can happen when the bearing is too tight and also too loose. If the wobble occurs at a similar speed everytime and it persists (the bike doesnt fix the issue on its own within a few seconds) then its very likely the problem is due to the upper and lower portions of the triple tree being out of alignment

      Hi friend. Running down today’s list of comments! I try to answer when I've seen it before, but I don't recognize this one. I’m the Social Media Manager here. That’s a good question for Shane. He gets hundreds of requests a day and starts each day answering MEMBER or donation support questions first and then if there is time he will try to circle back before heading to the shop for customer work.

  • @jamescantlin1072
    @jamescantlin1072 Před 2 lety

    sorry but your wrong on how to adjust you don't run Tite for going straight and loose for sport like feel it is to be adjusted so it corrects itself from side to side starting from center with wheel of the ground!!! you say loos for sport and Tite for straight then you go by the book which is totally different you stay with the book when it comes to the front end.

    • @How2Wrench
      @How2Wrench  Před 2 lety

      You're misunderstanding the examples. You don't run tight or loose ever. You run what the manual states. The "looser than or tighter then" was a comparison to the type of bikes and the weight in relation to the steering feel. Also, in certain racing applications teams will alter to the desired inputs they want.

    • @zombiewoof5257
      @zombiewoof5257 Před rokem

      Correct, there is no loose or tight choice in steering head bearing adjustment, there's only correct or wrong. Too loose and you end up with play, too tight and the rollers will make indentations in the bearing races.
