Front fork spacers for XT660X/R (installation instructions)
1.- Raise the front wheel off the ground slightly, it helps when fitting the spacers.
2.- Remove chin guard. Turn the bars full to the right.
3.- Remove the silver caps. Check the height position of the bars before removing, there is a level gauge on the front of the bars.
4.- Cover tank, remove 4 Allen key bolts & lay the handle bars on the tank.
5.- Undo both 10mm spanner size triple clamp bolts, just need to loosen them not remove them.
6.- Using a 22mm socket & a short extension, remove the left top fork cap, keep a little pressure on the cap as it may spring up as you reach the end of the threads, be ready.
7.- Fit one spacer between the fork spring washer & the 22mm fork cap.

8.- Refit the 22mm cap back into the fork tube, BEING VERY CAREFUL NOT TO CROSS THREAD THE CAP. Feeling the first couple of threads in carefully, if it starts to get tight DON'T FORCE it, undo it & start again. Just nip up the 22mm cap nut, tighten the two 10mm triple clamp bolts. Now turn the wheel to the left while holding the bars up. Repeat the procedure on the right fork.
