Cylinder base nuts - 28Nm (20 ft.-lb.) Torque them incrementally, 5, 10, 15, 20, operate the engine, then check the torque after the engine has completely cooled down. Check the torque again after the first ride as well, should be good after that with periodic inspection. A manual is great for all the stupid stuff...

BigRed350x Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Put your socket wrench on there and tighten them a little bit all the way around, then a little bit more, then a little bit more, then on the last time when they go "snap" and spin freely you know you went to far. Don't go that far. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
