    Turn the bolts to the right

    Which part is loose, where the whole thing mounts to the frame or the forks?

      Are you having symptoms or something ? There are a few threads out there if you search for them. Heres one. It does not address the tripple tree exactly but will get you going in that direction.

        more info would be useful, but the simple answer is to :
        • set the bearing tightness first (you use a punch and hammer to adjust till a slight drag)
        • Tighten the top nut to pull the triple down.
        • finally tighten all of the stantion clamp bolts

          after about 60 the bike feels un stable and feels like it wants to go down it first felt like this just before i had changed the fork seels. I was told that it might be the triple tree.
