Torque

[ProspectorJim]

Could someone that has a shop manual tell me what the torque settings are for the bolts that hold the rear caliper on are?

Also could I get the torque for the lug nuts front and rear?

Lugs are 38 lbf-ft both. Sequence ccw.


Caliber screws 18lbf-ft. Use blue loctite.

My book says 45 lbf*ft on the wheels.

08 shop manual page 285 38lbf-ft?? 09 Users Guide pg 110 same.

I impact the heck out of mine....got to remember these values are for rec riders not racers.

i wouldnt stop at no 38 or 40 ftlbs that awful loose for a race quad, tighten them *******s down as tight as you can without stripping em, breaks too, thats a recomended torque, do you want it to fall off? just git er tight.

I've seen a 300ex's wheel fall off from it being too tight.
