Torque Seetings Help:

Hey guys,

2005 TE510 here. I'm wondering what the torque settings are for changing out the tires. Can anyone tell me what the specs are for tightening the 2 screws for each fork and the nuts on the end? Thanks!!

Bump.......

Come on guys no answers here? I know you guys change your tires. How do you torque them down when you put them back on??

I do alot by just feel-
One mistake guys do is buy one torque wrench that has a max torque of 150 ft/lbs and they try to torque a 7 ft/lb bolt only to snap it off- then blame the torque wrench. You never ever want to rely on numbers that are less than about 40% the max or so of the wrench. Buy one for light torques and one for heavy torques. One rule of thumb is if the torque wrench weighs MORE than the tightening torque- you know you are wrong (ok that was just to be funny but its true)

Yeah good advice I need to buy one of the smaller settings. Thanks for the replies guys.

torques

thanks for posting the values, I've been calling the dealer to get values. I also second your multiple torque wrench philosophy. I've rebuilt jap bikes but this 09 Txc450 is my first husky.
