[QUOTE="xcsp, post: 1231921, member: 152"] Went through the process today to re-torque the steering head bearings on my '14, which required removal of the MV Motorrad riser plate, not too bad, just a little more time involved. The stem nut on top was only hand tight, placed a 36mm socket on it to check the size needed and gave it a twist and it turned easy.(This one is to be torqued to an 85 lb-ft spec.) Once the top clamp was removed, I removed the "top" nut, which wasn't snug against the lower nut. Loosened the lower nut, went through the torque sequences as outlined in the service manual and put it all back together. [/QUOTE]
