Title: Couple torque specs needed...
Post by: PowerFiend on January 27, 2010, 07:11:36 AM: Can someone please supply me with a couple torque specs in Newton Meters? I never trust their conversions to ft/lb.

Flywheel nut -
Case bolts -
Drain plug -
Clutch hub nut -
Clutch spring bolts -
Kickstart bolt -

P.S. These would be good additions to the topend rebuild doc/thread.

Flywheel nut - 78nm 58ft.-lb
Case bolts - 26nm 19ft.-lb
Drain plug - 20nm 15ft.-lb
Clutch hub nut - 98nm 72ft.-lb
Clutch spring bolts - Can't find it. Maybe 26nm/ hand tight(securely) with blue 242 bloctite
Kickstart bolt - Can't find it. Hand tight(securely) with blue 242 bloctite

Hope it's correct and helps you.

I replaced them with standard screws and washers.
By the way, i didn?t add loctite. Is that "officially recommended?
