NEED TORQUE SPEC'S PLEASE

Does anyone have the torque spec for the swingarm pivot shaft thing?

Need 3 really. Both left and right sides have that aluminum round cover with a large allen head type center.

The right side also has the main shaft underneath that cover plate/nut and I want to torque it down correctly.


Thanks!



Allan

Got lucky, found them on a CD someone here gave me long ago.

Answer is:

Pivot shaft is only snug. No torque setting.

Left side of bike (called the pivot shaft lock nut) is 72 lb/ft

Right side of bike (pivot shaft nut) is 94 lb/ft



Thanks anyway! Good reference stuff.

Insert Pivot Shaft...Tighten the Pivot Shaft so that the clearance between the collar (that square thingy) and the frame come to zero...
Tighten the Pivot Shaft Nut (left/sproket side) to 94ft-lb...
Tighten the Swinarm Pivot Shaft Locknut (right/brake side) to 72ft-lb...
AND...yer...DONE!!!
YOU don't have "the book" yet?!?!?!

well...I went by the book and found what I posted above...
After reading BA's post above...I checked the book again and found that...BA should be right...(about left/right)...
The book has a PICTURE (page 12-3) that shows the LEFT side is supposed to be 94lb and the RIGHT side is 72lb...
I think the picture is WRONG...I made my above post by that picture...doh...
