    Before I get my RR6 forks back it would be a good idea to know how much to torque up the clip ons by. Does anyone have a manual showing the values for the the front end?

    Also, I let the left bar drop down and the clutch reservoir is hanging upside own, so I'll need to bleed the system with what ever fluid is left.What clutch fluid should I use, or is topping up with a universal clutch/brake fluid good enough?

    top pinch bolts 23nm, bottom ones 26nm

    I would bleed it just in case, think I used a DOT4 clutch fluid :D

    Clutch fluid same as brake fluid. I replaced all mine over the winter, think it was Motul RBF 600. Total overkill for the road/me really but I don't skimp on brake related. stuff

    Clip-ons ( Handlebar clamps to fork legs) - I had this recently on my 1000RR - the manuals states 26Nm as as I started, it felt too tight. I did a search and on the Renthal US site it stated 9 Nm for the clip-on clamp to fork bolts and 3Nm for the actual handle bar clamp.

    A good quality DOT 4 will do the trick worth changing it regularly too i do mine every 4 thousand when i service as it gets very discoloured by then was told by a Honda dealer it is normal and due to the size of the reservoir
