How tall should a handlebar stem be on a fork?
If you can see this mark, the stem is too high. If your stem doesn’t have such a mark, a good rule of thumb is that there should be at least 2 inches/50 mm of stem inside the fork. The quill of the stem and the bolt threads should be greased, to help prevent them from corroding together.
