heffergm Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It looks to me like the top triple on the new model has a different design, namely a pinch bolt rather than a set screw. Can anyone confirm, and any thoughts on whether it helps at all with the constant stem adjustments needed on the GG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhuskys Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 My '17 has a pinch bolt. I didn't think much about it, as this is my first modern trials bike and my '16 KTM and '15 Husky use a similar pinch bolt. I think it will work well.

If you have the type with the bolt directly in from the centre at the back then that bolt isn't long enough, just fit a slightly longer bolt (with a tad of loctite) and that will stop the top nut then headstock coming loose.! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 2017 HAS A PINCH BOLT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 The 17 does have a pinch bolt. similar clamps to 11 and 12 Raga and 14/15 Racing. The older clamps as Kev has said needs a longer bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
