Tightening sequence for bar clamps ?

Aye…page no6.

Even though the 500 has the pilot light holder built into the bridge that seems pretty definitive Phil.

The 500 handlebar clamp isn’t stepped though Ted, not checked it but it seemed to sit on a flat surface flat

Not sure what you mean by stepped - does that mean the front quarter is bigger than the rear quarter so as to speak?

[Sesman]

Yes, like the front fork axle clamp, Ted. Your clamps will be what they are, but the guidance is very definitive. The punch mark or higher step is to the front and the tightening sequence is front first, rear second. Seems fairly straightforward I’d say.
