Hi.
I just bought a K6 yesterday and I have a problem with the handlebars which are some aftermarket clubman bars.
The problem is that I can't seem to tighten them enough to fix them.
The bars don't have those grooves in the middle and it seems that I need to tighten way too much just to make them stay in place, but they're never fixed.
I'm terrified of over tightening them, ruining the threads in the tripletree.
Of course I could troubleshoot by going out and buy a new set of handlebars that have the grooves, but I just thought I'd ask.
Maybe it's a known issue that the clamps get worn so the handlebars won't stay.
Also when I tighten them to the extend I dare, when I come back after a while, the bolts seem loose.
I tried putting in the bolts without the clamp and the threads seem solid.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
