    As my top yoke nut is looking rather past it's sell by date, I'd thought I would change it for a coloured one off the tintenet. Is it just a question of unscrewing and replacing ??

    But for god's sake be careful when you do it. I stripped the thread on my old R6 when replacing the steering stem nut. Meant dismantling the whole front end of the bike and replacing the steering stem. I was not a happy bunny :D

    Many thanks for the replies, I don't suppose anyone knows the torque setting ?

    found this whilst rooting about, sure enough the 2003 fireblade 954RR also shows 103 N.m (10.5 kg*m, 76 lbf*ft )
