    TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Fork and Bar Torque specs for 2010 TE250

vintageveloce

Husqvarna
AA Class
Looking at the manual:
Hmm... darn Italian translations. And sadly the parts numbers given don't appear to match the part number is the parts book...
At any rate, are these what I think they are?

Vite Fissaggio Pignone (Screw Pinion Attachment) 24.6 Nm
- Are these the bolts the clamp the from axle?

Vite Fissaggio Gambe Forcella (Screw, Fork Legs Attachement) 25.0 Nm
- Are these the bolts that clamp the fork legs in the triple clamps? Both upper and lower triple clamps? SOmetimes the lower clamps are less torque I thought.

Vite Fissaggio Morsetto Super Manubrio (Screw, Upper Bar Clamp Attachment) 284. Nm
- Are these the 4 bolts that clamp the handle bar?

And whats this?
Vite Fissagio Perno Ruota Anter (Screw, Front Wheel Pin Locking) 10.4 Nm
- its an M6, so it doesn't look to be the front axle clamps?

Thank you for any help!

Ok, so I found the the user manual shows 10.4 Nm to be the front axle clamps! So maybe that is the "Vite Fissagio Perno Ruota Anter"... but these are definitely M8, not M6. Hmm. Maybe that spec is for the Marzocchi forks?

I'm thinking all the M8 x 1.25 should be around 24 Nm, unless there is concern about fork stiction, and the M6 x 1 screws would be around 8 Nm. Now, all the fork and axle clamp screws are M8 x 1.25 on my 2010 TE250.

And I made some typo's above, corrected here:
Vite Fissaggio Pignone M8 x 1.25 (Screw Pinion Attachment) 24.6 Nm
- Are these the bolts the clamp the from axle?

Vite Fissaggio Gambe Forcella M8 x 1.25 (Screw, Fork Legs Attachement) 25.0 Nm
- Are these the bolts that clamp the fork legs in the triple clamps? Both upper and lower triple clamps? SOmetimes the lower clamps are less torque I thought.

Vite Fissaggio Morsetto Super Manubrio M8 x 1.25 (Screw, Upper Bar Clamp Attachment) 28.4 Nm
- Are these the 4 bolts that clamp the handle bar?

And whats this?
Vite Fissaggio Perno Ruota Anteriore M6 x 1 (Screw, Front Wheel Pin Locking) 10.4 Nm
- Maybe this is the Marzocchi spec? Not to be used with the Kayaba?

Any help here?
Thanks,
Carl
 
Lacking better info, here is what I used:

Fork clamps, top triple clamp: 25 Nm (18.4 ft lbs) (I think this is what the manual says)
Fork clamps, bottom triple clamp: 20 Nm (14.8 ft lbs) (lower than top clamps to be careful of stiction)
Front axle clamps: 10.4 NM (7.7 ft lbs) This seemed tight enough. ;-)

Sounds perfect to me.
