The biggest thing I've learned from watching your videos Robert is you've fully earned the title of the Meticulous Mechanic! You're inspiring me to be more focused and caring in any project in engage in! Thanks for all the great content!

My problem started around 7 minute mark. I tightened the head set to much. Didn't know how to measure torque with my spanner wrenches. Again I love these DIY videos.

Thanks for the comment....The 58 N.m is to make sure everything is seated down especially if you were replacing everything. Then you loosen up and retighten to 13 N.m....I usually go by feel instead of a torque wrench....make sure it spins freely with no back and forth motion....better a hair tight than loose....if the bearings are worn out you would have some roughness in the spinning to get rid of the free play....recheck the adjustment when all the weight of the motorcycle is pushing down after you take it out of the stand.
