Front Axel Pinch Bolt Torue Setting?

Anthil · Apr 13, 2012

I've had some new Michelin PR3's fitted today & can't find a torque setting for the front axel pinch bolts in the pdf torque document, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

If there isn't one then as it's an M6 thread (I think) then would assume it would be circa 16llbs?

On my 748 they are 19nm if that helps.

Confirmed in the MY2010 final version manual...

Fit the washer (2) on the end of the axle.
Grease the thread and the underside of the head of the axle lock nut (1), then screw it on.
Tighten the nut (1) to the torque of 63 Nm ± 5%

Grease the threads and undersides of the heads of screws (A).
Screw in the two screws (A) securing the brake calliper (B).
Operate the front brake lever two or three times.
Hold the lever pulled towards the handgrip and simultaneously tighten the screws (A) to a torque of 45 Nm ± 5%

Before tightening the screws (8), lower the motorcycle to the ground and push up and down the handlebars to load the suspen*sion; so the fork legs will become properly seated onto the wheel axle.
Lubricate the screws (8) (1200 S ABS).
Tighten the screws (8) to the torque of 10 Nm ± 5% (1200 ABS) / 19 Nm ± 5% (1200 S ABS)
