All 2st Fastener Torque Table

Fastener Torque Table

Here is a reference table that I created for my 2008 CR125. It may be applicable to other year CR,WR 125/150 bikes. The WR250/300 bikes may be different.

Note: As indicated in (red), I use a slightly lower torque value for the Triple Clamp Lower Bolts. This is done to avoid fork binding.


DISCLAIMER: This table does not replace your owner's manual.
It is for quick reference after you have verified that these torque values are suitable to your bike.

Yes, it is the total range like you show. So you want to use the average value = (19.5+21.7)/2 = 20.6

I do not adjust the torque values for anti-seize or grease. There are too many other variables that can affect final clamp load in the joint. For me, the 10% increase in clamp load for a lubricated thread versus dry thread only occurs if all other factors are perfectly equal. Don't forget about all of the other sources of variation in the fastener joint... such as quality of threads (damaged, undersized, etc.), dirty threads, cleanliness of the bolt/nut faces against the mating component, torque wrench type (clicker or beam type), torque wrench accuracy and calibration, slow vs. fast torque application, number of times the bolt/nut have been reused (stretch, fatigue, etc.), ambient temperature, and the list goes on...

I did use a sanity check to see how Husky torque values compare to my previous brands of bikes. Many were similar, but Husky does seem to use higher torques on the front axle, rear axle, and swingarm pivot.

If it makes you feel better, I always use the above table for my bike. I have never stripped the bolt threads or broke a bolt. I mark my important bolts with a paint marks to see if they loosen over time and all have remained tight and never vibrated loose.

You are welcome to omit the anti-seize and use the torque values "as-is". Or adjust the torque values to your own correction factor. As my disclaimer says at top of page, it is only for a quick reference after you have verified them to your model year owner's manual.

Those are very light torque. I usually just snug them up by feel.

Here is the torque specs from Husky manual. This is from a 2008 WR/CR125 but should be the same if your bolts are M6 size.
