INSPECTION, ADJUSTMENT, AND
LUBRICATION
A Word About Torque Specifications
Torque is a measurement of the tightness of a threaded
fastener such as a screw or bolt, determined by using a torque
wrench. The torque specifications in this manual are listed to
help you determine the correct tightness of parts and their
threaded fasteners.
The torque specifications should be used to make sure you do
not over-tighten the fasteners. Slight differences in a similar
part may require a different torque, so in most cases we offer a
range of torque. Applying more than the recommended torque
to a fastener does not provide extra holding power, and may
actually lead to damage or failure of a part.
Always perform the simple function tests listed in this
chapter to make sure a part is properly tightened, whether or
not the part was tightened with a torque wrench.
WARNING
A bicycle that malfunctions can cause you to lose control
and fall. Inspect the entire bicycle thoroughly before every
ride, and do not ride it until any problem has been corrected.

This chapter lists the intervals for inspecting the parts of
your bicycle, and instructions for adjustment and lubrication
of those parts. If any part fails any inspection, do not ride your
bicycle. Either repair or replace the part, or take your bicycle
to your dealer for service.
