Front fork clamp bolts torque

Here is another one I cannot find in the service manual.

Anyone have any idea what the torque on the front fork clamping bolts should be.

Marc

Looks like 19 Nm. "Fastening of fork plate side screws"

Confirmed, 19 nm

Thank you all. The Kuoba link instructions also confirm this. I thought it was too light but seems to be perfect.

Thanks again

If you mean the clamping bolts at the triple clamp, then yes, 19 Nm.

If you mean the clamping bolts at the front axle, then 8 Nm.

EDIT: Clarification, these numbers are from the TR650 workshop manual.

That sounds right (going from memory).

17 ftlbs top, 15ftlbs bottom.

The book says otherwise but ok, why the torque difference? Not doubting, just wondering.

17/15 is standard for all cycles, you can pinch a little more at the cap. I hardly doubt 3 ftlbs would matter. Sorry, didn't mean to step on toes.

No toes hurt here. I was just curious.

Well I did 19nm on all four per side and it did not explode. And did not move riding some rough roads.

I just could not bring myself to do 100nm on the rear axle however. I think that is way too tight.

The torque table in the service manual is well, Interesting.

Interesting it is. I believe it is in order of assembly. Can sometimes be useful to get an idea of what it takes to disassemble something.

I think you are correct. I have already changed the rear bearings in my bike, could be from over torque, cheap bearings or both.

Here is a link to factory service manual. Nice easy to read chart with every spec you could imagine.

Gee, here I thought it was German torque spec...

GutenTight!
