Appendix D
Fastener Torque Specifications
Correct tightening torque of threaded fasteners is very important to your safety. Always tighten fasteners to the correct
torque. In case of a conflict between the instructions in this manual and information provided by a component manufacturer,
consult with your dealer or the manufacturer's customer service representative for clarification. Bolts that are too tight can
stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt.
Always use a correctly calibrated torque wrench to tighten critical fasteners on your bike. Carefully follow the torque wrench
manufacturer's instructions on the correct way to set and use the torque wrench for accurate results.
