It took 5 times of torquing them on my bike before they stopped moving..


First time was SCARY how much they backed off...

snoopjonnyjon:
It only took 3 times for mine to settle down, but I agree it was scary how loose they felt after the first heat cycle. They felt like they had been torqued by a kitten. Bordering on finger tight.

Motorrad:
4 and 5th time, only one near the head stay needed just a squeek...

russ:
i used lock tight on them should i still re torqe them they dont look like they moved or should i just recheck them anyways and heres a pic of my bike its first time out
