Sorry to make another thread but in my thread about my drummer I couldnt get anybody to answer this question which idealy I need to do tonight so I can ride tomorrow morning.

I put my drummer on tonight but have yet to torque everything.

I need torque specs for a few of the bolts (most I just did snug)...

Two bolts holding the belt tensioner/guide on... The rear axle... and the rear axle spindle?

Ill try searching google but I really need to get some rest but first need to get the bike safe to roll.

My garage is too far away and my fingers are too big to type fast!

Thanks guys! (slaps self on the forehead) I was able to find the specs for the rear axle but couldnt find the pulley so that definetly helps!

I wont bug you guys with any other bolts, I have enough for now and will buy a service manual tomorrow when I go in for the battery strap.

Thanks!

Be careful with th pinch bolt, I think 40 -45 is too high. I have a good torque wrench and the bolt started stripping before I could get it to 40.

when you take a bolt out, remember how tight it was.... that's your torque value. Easy on the aluminum.
