What is the proper procedure for installing the front axle. The workshop manual says to install the axle, then tighten the pinch bolts next to the axle nut, then torque the axle nut, then tighten the opposite side pinch bolts.
Seems incorrect, on other bikes I've had you install axle then torque the nut to draw the axle tight against the wheel assembly, then pump the forks to align the fork lowers, the fork "floats" on the side opposite the nut. Then you tighten the pinch bolts.
Could the book be incorrect or is the just another Guzzi thing?
