Torque specs?

[smedly]

I'm going to install a set of frame sliders soon as was wondering if anyone knows the ft lbs or nm that the bolts need to be for the engine.I did a search and couldn't find the answer.Thanx

Have you checked with the slider manufacturer. They should have that information.

What he said, and better a bit light tightening than too hard. Threads in alumin are delicate and it is important to not use long wrenches and body force. E.g. a M10 bolt in alumin can normally be fastened safely with a 10" wrench and a moderate twisting movement by the hand only.

My thumbs of rule for steel bolts in dry alumin threads are something like listed below.

M6: 8 lbf-ft (11 Nm)

M8: 15 lbf-ft (20 Nm)

M10: 18 lbf-ft (24 Nm)

M12: 20 lbf-ft (27 Nm)

M14: 22 lbf-ft (30 Nm)

There are too many engine bolts in the manual to tell you what spec to use. I can email the manual to you if you want it.

These should be the same for the same size bolts on a Gen 2 I would suspect.
The manual is a good source also.

as a second note to torque specs, a light touch of red loc-tite goes a long way. and if you do use the RED, a LIGHT touch is stressed or you'll have a hell of a time if you ever have to get them out.

Well,checked the instructions that came with the sliders and it lists the spec at 25ft lbs.For the life of me though I can't get the fairings off.I can't get the fairing to pop free from the nose.I know it has a grommet that needs to "pop" loose but I can't seem to get it.I'm just paranoid about breaking something.I wish the fairings were as easy to remove as my '03 was *sigh*.

I think they did that on purpose:

"Stay outa there!" was their thought.
