Searched in different forums and found ambiguous information. Even the Ducati workshop manual seems to be not clear how to properly torque the stem nut (the big screw in the middle of the upper front fork yoke).
I just know that the bearings have to be put under tension.
Some say 22Nm, some say 25Nm (+/- 5%), and one guy stated to tighten it by hand and give it another 30 deg by hand.
What do you advise?
Is it really requried to lift up the bike to remove and reinstall the top yoke or is the triple clamp strong enough to hold the forks in an unbent condition?
