I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask but a Google search on Bwb came up empty. I just changed the front brake pads and need the following torque specs: --pins that hold the pads into the calipers --brake caliper mounting bolts --front axle --front axle pinch bolts Thanks in advance! | ||

Axle, front : 39-41ft-lbs anti-seize on threads, bearing pads. Axle pinch bolts, front : 20-22ft-lbs. alternate twice between bolts. Brake pin hanger set, front : 11-15ft-lbs. Caliper fasteners, front : 18-22ft-lbs. Gotta do mine soon too, finally. Zack | ||

youve got the $ for a torque wrench, but not the $ for a manual. even a pirated manual!? (free)  here's a fish, remind me some time to teach you how to bait the line and set the hook | ||

Another good rule of thumb: The Buell torque specs are widely the same as would be for any given Grade-8 bolt specification. For example, an M8x1.25 is widely known to be about 20 ft-lbs. As it turns out, most of the M8 bolts on the bike have exactly that specification! So, when in doubt, just Google the spec for that specific bolt geometry in a Grade-8 spec into Aluminum and you will get a pretty decently good guess as what it should be. If nervous about it, go on the lighter side of the spec and touch the bolt with some blue. |
