Author Message   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 09:56 am:        the little brace that goes from motor mount/swingarm block and then goes to the motor, says 'buell' on it, triangular Do those nuts and bolts need to be torqued or just tightened? I couldnt find the item in my service manual appreciate any information on this hoping to do this one tonight, slowly getting things crossed off the 'to-do' list, hoping to fire it up by Sunday....   Jramsey Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 10:57 am:        FSM shows 20-25 for the 2 shcs and 30-35 on the lock nut.   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 11:37 am:        Yeah, their torque-valued a lot 'lighter' than I wrenched'em down at first.   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 12:10 pm:        Be careful with TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS !!! You can feel when the torque is "WRONG" and you are over tightening ... BEWARE OF "TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS" WHERE "ALUMINUM THREADS" ARE CONCERNED !!!   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 12:42 pm:        No, not really, I can't. Lot of times I twist'em on way too tight. Doesn't feel "too tight" to me, and I'm pretty much a weakling. But when I check the book it says like 10 foot-pounds, and I'm thinking "that won't even keep the nut on" but I just 'blue'it up and trust the spec, because I can't tell.   Greg_cifu Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 12:44 pm:        No kidding. 25 ft/lbs on a 1/4-20 in an aluminum CASTING?!? I would NEVER go by that number, no matter what the manual says. The torque tables I'm seeing for steel-steel (a grade 5 bolt going into a nut) say 6 ft/lbs (76 in/lbs) and for aluminum it's 4 in/lbs (45 in/lbs). Is that a misprint in the manual? It has to be.   Jramsey Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 02:17 pm:        Sorry for the confusion,FSM typo. The diagram 2-113 shows 20-25 ft lbs. In the text #3 it states 9-10 ft lbs. BTW the shcs are 5/16".
