My_Pro_taper_accutrax_stem_thread_length

patrick_CR250 · 03-01-2008, 09:23 PM

is questionable. Should I have a little more thread sticking through above the upper stem nut? I think that the lower bearing isnt fully pressed up into the head. I will find out when i drop my bike down, loosen the upper nut, then try and press the lower part in more. Any suggestions? Should i have more thread up top?

appreciate it!

if its past the nut any its good to go imo
as long as every thread in the nut has something to pull on it will be strong

but if the bearing is not pressed on it will loosen up over time. so, see if you can press the bearing on more

that makes sense, well said. I think it would be best to get that lower bearing in just a little more.thanks.
