[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1231980, member: 277"] Mr' did note the final 13 ft/lb torque spec. Maybe after wnyfjr's post? People that have done the [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/24459-installing-all-balls-racing-tapered-steering-head-bearings/?p=286607"]balls for roller swap[/URL] have been fishing for a good final torque value with most ending up using 15-25 ft/lb as the final torque value and 40-45 ft/lb as the initial torque value. The majority of people used 15 ft/lb or near that value as the final torque setting. With the front end in the air and the front wheel facing forward there should be no play when pushing and pulling on the lower end of the forks (it's in the FSM) (don't push the bike off the center stand!!!) With the front wheel straight forward, when you push left and right on the front wheel it should freely and easily swing from side to side. If this all happens then the bearings are tight enough but not too tight. [/QUOTE]
