Im going to be taking everything that pivots on the front of my 250ex and lube it up. Im wondering if the bolts for the shocks, a arms, etc, require a certain amount of torque or should I just tighten them till their tight?

Buy a manual. You could have it done already, but you're waiting for replies...

That's not very nice. Is not the reason for the creation of these forums to envoke the asking of questions? Am I not in possesion of the correct assumption that this is a forum where one can come and ask of others what he does not know? And by the way, Im at work and can't begin to do anything until I get home in a couple hours. JEEEZZZ!!!!

My point was over half of the posts on these forums could be answered if people had a manual, and actually used it. You have the quad, learn what makes it work, and learn to work on it...First thing I bought for my quad, was the manual.

It's too easy to come in and ask what size millimeter nut is on your a-arms or where is my grease zerk on my bearing carrier.

I make sure I've looked at the maunual or used the search button before I come on here and ask a question that I'm sure has already been asked 100 times.

What is your problem? Im just trying to find an answer to my question and all you want to do is act like a jerk. You talk to me like Im a little kid or something with all this "it's your quad, learn to work on it" crap. Obviously I am trying to learn to work on it and sometimes learning requires asking questions. Do you need a manual to do everything? I bet you tote all sorts of manuals around with you. I bet you have manuals on how to take a pee and how to whip your butt don't you? So please, if you don't want to help then just buzz off.
