Locating a Suzuki"special socket" or equivilent

[Guest]

Anyone know where to get one of the Suzuki Steering Nut Socket Wrenchs or something similar so I can torque the front end when I put it back in the frame? Or is there another way to do it?

Thanks

A big pair of channel locks will do it, if you're carefull. You need to be mindfull not to gorilla torque that nut too...just make it nice and snug. Im sure there is an actuall torque value, but i'll be damned if i know how you'd go about achieving it with anything more than a guess...

I use a long punch and a hammer into the notches. If carefull you wont do much damage

Nip it it firmly then take for 10 mile ride and come home and jack the front up and loosen the top nut/top triple clamp bolts retighten using the above long punch/hammer method and tighten all bolts/nuts again and IF done correctly the front end should move freely with a light touch but not have any back and forth slop. More trial and error as you can torque the top nut down all day but if that notched nut isnt right it will be a waste of time. Confused? lol
