blkbrdrydr Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 To measure steering head bearing pre-load, the manual says to use a spring scale. Where do you find a spring scale that measures within the range of 1.0 to 1.5 kilograms of force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmike Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 ... is seemingly assumed. For those who'd like a little help, try www.joshmadison.com for the trickest conversion software.. even NASA uses it... and it's FREE..! Use his site's search engine for "convert". :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrdrydr Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Guess that I should have been more clear with my posting. Does anyone know where to buy a good spring scale that I could use to measure the steering head bearing pre-load on my XX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rideonXX Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Pretty certain a scale used for weighing fish (hooks through the gill) will do the trick. 1Kilogram=2.2046lb and 1.5 Kilogram=3.3069. So, I would think if you got the scale and then calibrated it with a know weight--you will have your needed tool. Happy trails kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Your looking for just shy of 3 pounds. Try to find a light fish scale. I hard a hard time finding one. everything started at 2 pounds and was every 2 pounds. A bit of a pain. Use it for a reference, because it's difficult to get accurate with your cables etc rubbing against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
