Hi all, I was trying to fit the 790 front fork sliders and I came across an issue (for me anyway!). The instruction manual (second link below) says to remove: Mounting: 1. Loosen the clamping srews (7) and remove the HH screw (6) from the front axle - left side.

I tried fitting the sliders without the removal of the 'HH screw (6)' (part four in the slider kit) and they seem to fit fine.

Is this something I've missed? The HH screw seems identical to the fitting already on the bike.

Confused: John

I don't know why either, it's possible that early bike versions had a different size tool hole in the screw. Keep it as a spare like I did!

Maybe other KTM models use the same axle slider kit and they have a solid screw there?

Yes, more than possible. Thanks dma.
