Re: [ST] Fork/triple clamp needs tightening

[George K <gkeslin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked my manual and found out I was wrong.  You don't need any 
special tools to adjust the headstock.  I scanned the appropriate pages 
from the 2002 manual and tried to attach them to an earlier response but 
the email was way too big.  Can somebody post them if I send them to you?
