Is it normal for the to be a space between the axle holder and the fork itself? The front side of the axle holder touches the fork, but on the rear side of the axle holder has a 1/16" gap between the axle holder and the fork. I don't have the proper torque wrench, however I checked the tension using a 1/2" drive ratchet and it seems very tight.

Mine came from the factory wit the front side touching and the gap on the back. Next time I get a service, I'll ask them to re-adjust so that there is an equal gap on both sides.

Beyond the torque specs, there is a proceedure to follow. Not sure about the 2011, but it is critical to follow the procedure on my 2006. Sorry I don't have the 11 or I'd give you the whole proceedure.
