What is the Torque Setting? Clutch

peterg · 31-Aug-2004, 14:31

I am awaiting the arrival of a load of carbon and alloy parts from Casoli.

One of which is the red anodised clutch pressure plate.

I would like to know what the clutch springs should be Torqued down to??

Thanks

8 or 9 Nm. No tighter, and make sure you apply a good smear of Copaslip to the threads. They are buggas for seizing and then the heads rounding out.

Someone will be along soon with the right answer but the Rockhopper answer is not very tight. An ordinary allen key will do if you dont have a torque wrench. The weight of my 12 inch bar was enough to snap one of the bolts on my ST2.

5 INCH-pounds to avoid stripping the threads. The spring tension will prevent them from loosening.
