Shouldn't be too hard. Remove the steering stem nut. Loosen the pinch bolts. Lift!

Re: triple tree help?

Im assuming your forks are off.

Take the nut off of the top triple and pull it off.

Under the top triple are 2 nuts that require a special tool, but to take them off, you can use a hammer and punch and gently tap them loose. I would highly reccomend getting the tool to put them back on.

The top is a lock nit so tap it loose and back it off, then repeat with the bottom.

Once you have these off, you may have to tap on the steering stem with a dead-blo mallet, and it should drop out of the bottom.

This is off the top of my head. If I can find my old RC manual Ill double check it and edit anything that is off.

Re: triple tree help?

I knew the question was too easy. Not the top triple clamp. Time for sleep....
