2019 nc750x alternator cover 8mm bolts torque

[Steveg 1,021]

Hi

 

Just noticed one of the alternator cover bolts were loose when I removed  front sprocket cover to clean off the gloop 

 

They are only a 8mm bolt so don't think they will need much torque 

 

Cant see a value in manual 

 

any one know 

 

cheers Steve

I think that they are a 6mm bolt with a 8mm head so around 8ft-lbs

Thanks don't have a low value torque wrench so just nipped it lightly by hand 

 

Cheers Steve

Yep, I just use a ring spanner if you can and hold it more towards the ring end just so you don't give it to much pressure.

 

I also have a small 1/4'' drive ratchet that only has a 50mm handle, which I use for small bolts.
