• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

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. :excuseme:

Marc
 
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.
 
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.
 
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. :lol:

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.
