Refitting the frame
Before refitting, check that the rubber mountings (A) are installed on the frame (1).
If the ring nuts (5) with the clearance adjusters (4) were removed, proceed as follows.
Grease the threads of the clearance adjusters (4) and the ring nuts (5) taking care not to get any grease on face (B) of
the clearance adjuster (4).
Tighten the clearance adjusters (4) onto ring nut (5) until flush with the side featuring flats, as shown below.
Tighten to a torque of 0.5 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) from the outside the clearance adjusters (4)
with ring nuts (5) in the frame threaded bushings, until they protrude by about 2 mm on the inside.
