Nice. Thanks, was too lazy to look for my manual you helped me out snik!

 

Torque Reference

The best quick reference torque specs is knowledge, no kinda disrespect here, you generally use the bolt size as a reference, 6mm go to 10-13 ft-lbs, 8mm go 14-17 and 10mm go 22-24. It all depends on if being threaded into alloy or steel and how much thread engagement.

Axles and larger applications are generally by a manufactures spec. Use of Loctite and or anti-seize are factors. I have replaced every bolt on my bike with titanium or alloy and use these guidelines on all ti fasteners, alloys are a more touchy topic.

Good general advice. Just be careful. There are items on these bikes such as axles, steering stems, triple clamps, and others that have specific torque specs due to loading bearings and certain surfaces and not to the specific fatigue points of the bolts and threads.

 

Fine Black tip Marker................know the torqued by looking at the bolt or nut......no more guessing

 

I'm not to that point where I can even look at a bolt and tell if its a 10mm or 12mm. So for me, a reference like this is needed.

 

This is perfect! Thanks, This site is always a big help!

 

How about it. I was doing some spontaneous work on my bike and realized I don't have torque specs for sh1t.

So here are torque specs and a quick reference sticky, so I can like hit it from my phone next time. I figure these are the frequent ones. I know I'm not the only one that's been in this situation before.

• Pinch bolts - 16 ft.lb
• front axle - 58 ft.lb
• front caliper bolts - 33 ft.lb
• front rotor bolts - 14 ft.lb
• Steering stem nut - 76 ft.lb

The front wheel spacer with the rim goes on the brake side

• Upper and lower triple clamp bolts - 17 ft. lb
• OE clipon bolt - 20ft.lb

• rear axle - 83 ft.lb
• rear rotor bolts - 31 ft.lb
• rear sprocket bolts - 47 ft.lb
• Front sprocket - 40 ft.lb
• Rear shock + link bolts - 33 ft.lb

The rear wheel spacer with the rim goes on the sprocket side.

• Throttle adjust lock nut. - 4 ft.lb
• Passenger foot peg - 20 ft.lb
• OE rearsets - 27 ft.lb
• Oil drain bolt - 22 ft.lb
• Oil filter -20 ft.lb
• clutch lever mount clamp bolt - 9 ft.lb
• clutch banjo - 25 ft.lb

Frame slider/engine bolts, (fr + mid hanger bolt) - 47 ft.lb


HESD FUNCTION TEST PROCEDURE
• Support the motorcycle securely using a hoist or equivalent and raise the front wheel off the ground.
• Before function the test, check the the l for minimum damping characteristics by moving the steering
right and left quickly several times. Operate the steering quickly and at a uniform force during the
test.

Perform the HESD function test as follows:
1. Lower the side stand (side stand switch OFF).
2. Shift the transmission into any gear other than neutral.
3. Open the throttle grip fully.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON with keeping the state of 1 - 3.

The HESD indicator starts blinking and the HESD system enters the Function Test Mode for 10 seconds.

Make sure that the damping characteristics (force) changes, by means of comparing the minimum damping characteristics before the Function Test with the maximum damping characteristics under the Function Test.

Good looking Snik! When are you coming up to the DC area (with the bike)?

 

I drove thru DC kinda, on my way to Summit

I like my thread, when I took a caliper off at the track to remove my wheel, I looked at it for the specs for the axle and caliper bolts. I was like sweet

 

I love this thread. Saved my ass yet again.

 

Right click print, staple to garage wall. Thanks snikwad

 

Good post snik!

 

Very good. Thanks for bringing it back to life. Should be a sticky but better yet I bookmarked it.

 

Good stuff.

 

Subscribed. Sweet, good for lookup after maintenance.

 

Very nice, thanks a ton.

 

Does this cover the 2008 - 2010 CBR1k's?

 

No, you should add that.

 

Exactly what I was searching for! +1 for the garage wall!!

 

mmm, I'm surprised this was never a sticky. oh well.

 

Is this the 2004-2007?

 

I posted it for my 04, but I'm pretty damn sure it's the same for 06s and 07s too.

It's Honda, they wouldn't change the bolts just for changing them, sake.

 

Awesome quick reference guide. Thanks for this post.

 

I have the 04 service manual PDF stored on my phone. Handy!

 

Thanks, very handy to have, print this off and stick it with your toolbox.

Thank you for the torque specs! Subscribed!!!

 

Can someone confirm that these are the torque specs for the 2012 as well?

• Front axle Pinch bolts - 16 ft.lb
• Front axle - 58 ft.lb
• Front caliper bolts - 33 ft.lb
• Rear axle - 83 ft.lb
• Oil drain bolt - 22 ft.lb
