Hey, whats up, just got my Applied triple clamp, pulled the front end off the CRF and, I cant get the steering stem off of the bottom clamp. Does it come off or do I need a new one? Beat it harder? Anybody?

I'm not a Honda expert, but have seen some that actually thread into the lower clamp. Also, if you heat the clamp (not the stem) you may ease the separation. Beating a pressed fitting is never good.

Don't beat on it, the stem is pressed very tightly into the bottom clamp.If you go to most any good machine shop they will be able to press the stem out of the honda clamp and into the new one.

You bought an upper AND lower triple from Aplied and they didi'nt give you a stem bolt with them?? :headscrat

that suprises you?

the stem is pressed into the clamp.. just find someone with a hydrolic press and push it out and press it into the new clamp..

Yes it does becuase I got this Bitchen Tri Star Racing clamp setup and it came with a billet stem bolt that was already pressed in and ready to go..

Looks good, but no ktm setup (especially no 14mm KTM setup)
