For the specific settings for the unions and couplings
on the motorcycle in question, see (FASTENERS).
Unless otherwise specified, the torque wrench set-
tings refer to clean, dry threads at ambient tempera-
ture.
NOTE
To avoid deforming the components, or
having a leaking joint, tighten the screws and bolts as
follows. First, screw in all the fastners by hand.
Second, snug each fastener to approximately one-half
of the specified torque setting, working in the diagonal
pattern as shown, (A), (B), (C), and (D). Finally, bring
each fastener up to its specified torque, working in the
same order.
NOTE
When this procedure is followed, the clamping
pressure exerted by the fasteners will be uniformly
distributed over the surface of the joint.
