torque values

[Guest micksea]

hi,just changing my chain and sprockets,could anyone tell me the torque values for the front sprocket,rear sprocket and rear wheel? thanks

Front sprocket 54nm

Rear sprocket 108nm

Rear wheel 98nm

Tip. Loosen front and rear sprocket nuts before taking the wheel out. Chock the wheel with a lump of 2x2 wood though the wheel and swing arm. 

Reverse for torquing them up.

Just to add that 98nm seems to be too tight for the rear wheel, I set it to 80nm and it's perfect.

If Mr Honda says 98 then at 98 I shall torque it.

I doubt they have got it wrong, after all, they pay engineers to get it right.

Your bike, your torque.

Don't forget torque figures assume new bolts dry assembled in clean cut threads with loctite if used originally.

Old bolts with coppaslip or grease or whatever scenario will differ and the original torque may be far too high for these bolts.

 

Personally I never torque anything apart from cylinder head and big end bolts and just use the feel through the spanner/socket to judge. Nothing has ever come loose and everything does undo when needed without shearing or rounding heads off.
