We had to change out the steering column for a 07 YZF450 SE after flipping it climbing a steep hill. The stock Pro Taper handle bars were fine, but the steering column was badly bent.

We have the new one, but the bottom nut was really tight to break loose off the original.

Does it require Loctite and what is the torque?

Brand new to the site and thanks or the help!

 

i beleive it has a cotter key,if it does then get it snug with a wrench then give it a couple good grunts and put the key in it, if it doesn't i'd use some blue loctite

 

the tourqe setting for that nut is a big number N.m at 110 or ft-lb.81 this is the setting off my 05 raptor but it will do for the yfz no problem

 

Thanks for the info!

 

GOOD N TITE
