wrench size for steering adjustment gen1

[child_of_fire]

Does anyone know what size spanner wrench and box wrench I need to tighten the steering head? Is it a 27mm? And an 10mm spanner?

The careful use of a screwdriver and hammer will work to replace the spanner wrench, not sure of what size box wrench is needed.

No problem..

I don't have to take the handlebars off or remove anything for this do I?

No you wont. But youll probably have to turn the handlebars a little to get at the bottom nut.

Just in case you haven't seen Sean's Video on the steering head bearings test, and adjustment.

The "Furber fix" has worked well for many including myself,and only requires a drift-punch and small sledge..It also addresses an issue in the stock setup allowing the nuts to self loosen...google it of check vmoa site.
