1 You will need to use a scissor jack (or a jack) to lift the front of the bike. Once you have the front wheel off the ground you can proceed to remove the front wheel and fender.

2 Remove gauge bezel and center console.

3 We recommend you cover the body panels with tape or a sheet to prevent any scratching. Remove handlebars and place to side.

4 Remove the forks from both sides.

5 Remove fork cap. Remove fork oil and replace with 30 wt fork oil. THIS IS MANDITORY!

7 Remove bottom race and top bearing in neck.

8 Assemble top and bottom trees with provided bearing races, and seals, use a waterproof synthetic grease to pack the bearings.

Note: Failure to use the provided bearing assemblies will result in improper installation of the trees.

9 Insert the 5/8 hardened stem bolt and flat washer through the top of top tree. Thread the bolt into the bottom tree assembly by hand until you are sure that the bolt is started straight. Tighten the stem bolt until there is no play in the trees. Now back the stem bolt off a 1⁄2 turn. This allows easier assembly of the forks into the trees.

10 Insert the left and right forks into the trees. At this point, hand tighten the top pinch bolts to prevent the forks from slipping out.

12 Now set the bearing preload of the trees, using a precision torque wrench tighten the stem bolt to 14 ft/lb.
