Tip 2: use a steering pin tension bolt that is strong enough

I started out with a steering pin tension bolt of M10 which broke after a couple of rides. Luckily the part that broke off was left inside the steering housing and I was able to reach my workshop without accidents.
The second attempt with an M10 bolt was unsuccessful too and left the bolt bent.
I did a third attempt with an M12 bolt - which is the bolt on the right in the picture - , but in the end, I used an M16 bolt to be sure. I suppose an M14 could have worked fine too since the M12 didn't show any signs of wear or tear.
