6. 6 . ST E M
Some Kenevo SL models are equipped with an Alloy Trail Stem.
WARNING! The stem is designed with no gap between the stem body and the
faceplate at the upper bolt area. The upper bolts must be tightened such that
the faceplate bottoms out against the stem body before being torqued. Failure
to bottom out the faceplate against the stem body can result in structural
damage to the handlebar.

Gradually torque the upper bolts to spec alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly
„
increase the torque until the spec is reached (C).
Gradually torque the lower bolts, alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly increase the
„
torque until the spec is reached (D).
Check the handlebar is installed correctly by rotating the handlebars up and down, then
„
twisting the handlebars side to side while holding the front wheel. If there is any movement,
the stem is not sufficiently tightened and should be re-torqued.
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and alloy surfaces
of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges in the stem or fork can
weaken the components.
CAUTION: All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be
rounded out to eliminate any stress points.
