Steering head race bearings

[Guest dusty]

Hi need to adjust does anyone know the Allen key size for front wheel spindle and top yoke socket size also confirmation that castellated nut can be adjusted with45mm c spanner thanks in advance 

[embee 7,288]

Wheel spindle is 17mm hex

top yoke allen pinch bolts are 6mm hex

Not sure what top yoke nut is, I think 32mm but can't confirm, torque is 103Nm

I have spare castellated nuts for bearing adjustments, they measure 45.7/46.0mm diameter overall, 45mm spanner might work well enough to do it, not perfect but might be near enough.

 

The bearings are slightly greased from the factory, I'd recommend adding as much grease as you can. The bearings need a reasonable amount of preload, the manual says 23Nm of preload but I think this is too much and use more like 15Nm personally. Add tab washer then locknut tightens "reasonably" until tabs line up with slots.
