So i was adjusting my steering head bearings today and all went fine when i was putting it back together i was torquing up the top tolk clamp bolts and before i got to the 23nm specified by haynes this happened:-
Attachment 8964 Does any one know if is safe to ride in this condition or do i need a new top yolk? My theory is that the bottom clamp is OK and the clip on bar is also gripping the fork which in turn is attached to the top yolk. So i think it will be OK and could i get away with aralditing it or summit. If not has anyone got a top yolk kicking around FOC if poss as i need the bike to cummute but i am not at work till 3rd May now. Last edited by daveyrach; 21-08-13 at 11:36 AM. |

Dangerous to ride it like that!!
Fork could flex under heavy braking and possibly damage lower yolk. |

F**k it, why do these things happen when you least afford them. How easy is it to change over ignition assembly or does it need drilling or something silly

Thats the ones with the little nipple in the middle isn't it? That would be a pain as i have normal torx bits.
Do you know what size and they are not sheer bolts are they? |

You can center pop the nipple in middle and drill it, once you got to 2mm drill or so just give it a whack and nipple will be gone so you can use normal torx.
