Lowering Triple Tree Stem Nut Gap

[Robudda]

When the DME Lowering triple tree is installed, The stem nut has about a 2.5mm gap when bottomed out. I am assuming adding shims to take up the space is common, but want to be sure that there is not some other issue before I just get shims and call it good. Thanks

Well looking at the schematics. The previous owner has a few things out of place and missing, guess I need to take apart and make sure everything is done right.

yes, I have the feeling that something is wrong

take a close look at this microfiche (here gen2).

the basic structure / sequence of the components is basically the same for all hayabusa.

so I see at first glance
that the washer (#7) underneath the large , brass colored , nut (#8) at the top is simply missing.

Also, the stem washer no. 12 is missing, goes between the two castle nuts (bearing adjusting/lock) on the stem.
It annoys me when I see critical systems like steering components incorrectly assembled.

@Kiwi Rider

no man - i suppose that washer he put on top of the 2nd nut (2 x #13)
look a 2nd time (with glases on ur nose - lol) and you´ll find/see it.

I have parts ordered, and will go through it all. Guess when buying used that is part of the process, fixing what others did incorrectly. Thanks for all the knowledge and help.
