TRIPLE TREE INSTALLATION Yamaha Road Star XV16/XV17

Pack the supplied, new lower bearing with grease. Remember - youre not trying to just coat the outside, you
must get the bearing full of grease on the inside. Use a flat stick or putty knife to press grease into top of
bearings, then fill the race with grease and press it down over the bearings (see Photos 2 & 3)

Pack the supplied, new upper bearing (see Photo 4)

Install both new races in the frame neck (a wooden block and a mallet will work for this if you dont have a
race installation tool)

first spanner nut. Tighten it as much as you can while still being able to turn the tree freely without any drag

tabs (approx. 2.2 ft-lbs). Replace locking washer (see Photo 1)

Spray fork legs with glass cleaner to make them slide easier (do not use oil or WD-40)
