Swingarm/rearlinkage tight…. torque?


Oxxa

Question

I cannot find the tightening torque for the swing arm and the rear linkage bolts/nuts.

 

I am preparing to lubricate them and want to be prepared and have all neccesary information beforehand.

 

thanks :))

Note:

 

Those torque specs are 100% correct, but...

If the threads are lubricated (as always happens) you may strip them.

 

When a bolt is lubricated - less torque is required to achieve bolt axial load or tension. Reduction of torques for lubricated vs. dry bolts are indicated in the table below.

Lubricant Torque Reduction
(%)
Graphite 50 - 55
White Grease 35 - 45
SAE 30 oil 35 - 45
SAE 40 oil 30 - 40
No lube 0

Thanks man! 
 

Do you know what size are the bolts and nuts? 
 

I know the first bolt of swingarm is 22mm, but there is another one inside I cannot find info on it.

 

Also for the rear linkage?
