Question about fork tubes, 2006 R1150/R850R

Post by DanH »

I have a 2006 R850R, which is the same as the R1150R in most respects.

My question concerns the top part of the fork tube where it attaches to the steering head. Should that top part turn by hand or is it possible mine have loosened up on the rather rough roads I ride in Mexico?

If they should be tight does anyone by chance know the correct torque for them?

Thanks.
