V4 Ducabike Triple clamp install

HKMP7 · May 28, 2019

Hello All,

I have a install guide for the Ducabike top triple clamp. You can use this for other brands as well. This is how I did it.

Tools needed
3mm Allen
4mm Allen
6mm Allen
Small Electronics flathead Screwdriver
Torque Wrench
Rubber mallet
Steering stem special tool
Piece of round or flat wood. or (brute strength lol)

You will need a few things.

V4 V4S V4 Speciale V4R

Ducabike Top Triple I ceramic coated mine so it will stay nice

Some tools like these

Remove the battery cover and ignition cover

Now to remove the triple clamp bolts
On the brake lever side you will need to loosen this bolt because the reservoir is blocking access.

Clutch lever side has just enough room

Then Remove the last bolt

If you have a V4S or Speciale you will need to remove the electronic suspension connectors.

Lift the rubber boot

Heres were you use the small flat head depress the tabs slides out

Should look like this

Piece of wood or brute strength?
I couldn't budge it so I opted for a round piece of wood. I placed it under the triple and gave it a few taps on each side until it was free.

Now use the special tool remove the steering stem nut
P.S. why is there so much grease lol clean the area that doesn't need it.

Replace with your shiny need Ducabike Stem Nut torque to spec

Now on to install the top clamp. The clipons have a notch.

This tab goes in the notch.

Once you get it on a few taps with a rubber mallet to seat it. Torque bolts to spec.

I used medium thread lock on these bolts.

Re install the stuff you removed

What's the purpose of installing half a triple clamp?

It's getting way weird around here on the board lately.

I dont think there would be much of a rigidity difference so no performance gain mainly cosmetic.
I like the way it looks

Looks awesome.
What ignition cover do you have?
Hows the fitment?

endodoc · May 28, 2019

Indeed. I mean ya want to save the plane but at some point, ya just need to pull the handles, Hope the deployment executes correctly and call it a day.

endodoc · May 28, 2019

Holy cow. Mick are you seeing this bike? It’s a damn Rembrandt. Crap I don’t even have paint. I’m thinking Pfizer’s clean room has nothing on shigeru’s bike. I need to at least get some stickers.

Was the steering stem special tool just to replace the nut? Are you able to get the triple clamp one and off over the stock nut?

Yes, the special tool is used solely for removing the steering stem nut. No need for it if you are simply replacing the top triple.

Correct.
Since I was already doing the triple I said why not.
