Quick Release and Fasteners
Check that quick releases and important nuts and bolts that keep your wheels, handlebar and seatpost in place are properly
closed and adequately tightened. Correct tightening force is vital. Too little force and the fastener may not hold securely. Too
much force and the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening can result in
component failure and cause loss of control and accidents. See section 15 for correct torque values. If you're unsure, visit your
dealer and ask them to show you the proper way.
All other repair or maintenance which is not specifically described in this manual should be performed by your dealer.

It's all Torque to Me
Torque Values are standard measures of how much you must tighten a bolt and are listed below. When a torque value is given,
a torque wrench should be used to ensure that the correct torque is applied.
