Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

Can someone please tell me the torque specs for the case halfs?

(1/1)

Lon:
Not sure but I looked and the Service manual says 87 IN-lbs so did the converter which said 7.25 FT-lbs..Does that sound correct?Have everything done and crank is still in the freezer..All im waiting on is to be sure on torque specs for the case halfs ...

That's what I got as well using the converter I use online.  I use an inch-pound torque wrench, and am often doing the conversion the other direction and this is the site I use.

Awesome and thank you sooo much man,7.25 FT lbs it is :) ...This is my 2nd engine I fully rebuilt..The first was my wifes Yamaha Blaster and I knew I needed a torque wrench so bought the 3/8 drive when I should of bought the 1/4 drive but,the 3/8 drive still does the job...Thanks again man :) ..

You're welcome.  Good luck with your build!

12 inches in a foot. To find out how many feet are in a given amount of inches divide by 12.

Mixing gas for two strokes. 128 ounces per gallon. Divide 128 by the desired mixing ratio. Example: 40:1. 128 divided by 40 = 3.2 ounces.

This is about all the math you need to know for dirt bikes!
