5.5.1) Standard
The upright is located into the spherical
joint on the lower wishbone and secured
using the retained 1/2” nyloc nut. Tighten
the nyloc nut to 55 Nm.
Warning
Correct use of fixings is required in
order to ensure full engagement of the
nyloc nut.
5.5.2) Wide track
The upright is located into the spherical
joint on the lower wishbone. Prior to
locating the upright, a spacer located in
the polythene bag marked ‘front
suspension’) must be inserted onto the
bottom of the upright. The upright is
secured using the special turned down
nyloc nut supplied. Tighten the special
nyloc nut to 55 Nm.
The cycle wingstay locates on the upright.
Remove and discard the 1/2” UNF nyloc
nut and plain washer fitted to the inner
end of the stub axle. Place cycle wingstay
over the stub axle and secure using the
1/2” UNF nyloc provided. Do not tighten.
NOTE
If uprated front brake callipers have been
specified ensure that the brake pads are
installed before fitting the cycle wingstays.
Pass the top wishbone ball-joint down
through the top of the upright and through
the wingstay. To fully engage the tapers of
the wishbone and ball-joint, fit the M14
plain nut (6) from the fastener pack, apply
pressure to the top of the ball-joint and
tighten the plain nut. Once the ball-joint is
locked in place remove the plain nut and
replace it with the nyloc supplied on the
ball-joint. Tighten the nyloc nut to 54 Nm.
Tighten the inner stub axle nut to 82 Nm
and ensure that the upright turns freely on
the wishbones.
Remove and retain the nyloc nut from the
track rod end. Remove and discard the
hard plastic boot protector from the track
rod end taper and pass the tapered shaft
down through the steering arm on the
upright, secure with the nyloc nut. Tighten
nyloc nut to 34 Nm.
Your front suspension should now
resemble that shown in Figure 34. (IVA
covers not shown)
