Get started, freeDescription
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE PINCH BOLT HOLE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LOWER FRONT FORK TRIPLE CLAMP WAS NOT THREADED TO THE FULL DESIGN DEPTH. THIS ALLOWED THE PINCH BOLT TO BE TIGHTENED TO ITS DESIGNED TORQUE VALUE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CLAMPING FORCE ON THE LEFT FORK TUBE. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE STEERING PROBLEMS AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.
