Man I clicked through all 500+ pages of this digital service manual I have for my '11 Grizz 700 and nowhere is this torque spec. So frustrated. Here's the bolt...



It's what I'm calling the 'lower brake pad bolt' on the front wheel of the bike. Here's the schematic...it's #15 bottom center...



Not a huge deal but if you happen to know where to find this spec without too much trouble I'd appreciate a hand with this one. A link to the graphic or info would be nice too.

That is the type of thing where I go as tight by hand as I can reasonably get. I don't generally worry about torque specs on these. Maybe use a little anti seize too.

Another thought, I think Yamaha has a general torque guideline based on bolt size. Should be in the front of the manual, or maybe an appendix in the back.

 

The old fashion way. Tight enough not to fall off and not so tight as to stripe it.

Go by feel back . The proper torque specs are for the motor and very few chassis parts.

 

Almost every manual I've seen regardless of make has a general torque specs section based on bolt/nut size. Too many bolts and nuts to break down torque specs for every application except the critical ones.If they were, manuals would be twice as large as they already are.

 

500+pages? That's practically a non-fiction book. I don't even own a torque wrench. I tighten most bolts by feel. I realize I may need to remove this bolt again some other time and if I overtighten it, then I will strip it trying to remove it next time. I feel like I'm strong enough that a good effort to tighten any bolt on a quad is more than enough torque.
