Posted April 14, 20232 yr Team, The three bolts as marked on the left hanger. Probably 8mm thread. Anyone know the correct torque? TIA. Neil YouTube - RIDER GUIDER - check out my T7 playlist and say hello 😀
April 14, 20232 yr Community Expert Members I've also searched for the torque when I removed my center stand - couldn't find it. The lower bolts are stainless, not sure if it was M8 or M10. I looked up the "standard" torques for stainless bolts on the web, and found it differs quite much depending on the strength of the steel. I think I chose a rather low torque and applied blue loctite (not too much). It's been about 3 months ago - I'll walk into the garage and check if they've come loose.
April 14, 20232 yr Community Expert About 28nm for steel on steel normally but as @Tenerider says, I’d do no more than hand tight with loctite.
April 14, 20232 yr Don't fixate on torque values. Those are most important for engine parts and front fork. Just don't overtighten and if you're afraid it is not tight enough use a little Loctite.
