Engine frame bolt torque setting
 

Installing frame sliders with the 90-degree bow (so no faring cutting). I need the torque setting of the engine mount bolt right behind the choke. I believe the bolt is 14mm sized.

Umm, I tourqed my frame sliders to really freaking tight. :lol: Those bolts are pretty strong so I would just get them tight. Sorry I don't have the specs but I haven't had any issues with mine yet. Of course I haven't tested them and hope not to but the bolts haven't backed out and I didn't pull any threads out of the block.

You really need the manual. Download it here:

Holy Crap! ALL bike manuals! Holy #$%! This needs to be on the FAQ violently! The FAQ should only contain THIS LINK! OutSTANDING, and thanks very much! You saved me $70! I owe you a beer!

Torqed the bolts to 64lbs but before the torque wrench would "give" because the bolt seemed to not tighten anymore just very very slowly rotate and I didn't want to strip it. Aftermarket bolts after all.

Yeah, the ones that came with mine were kinda cheap too. I went to the local nut and bolt shop (can you beleive they've got a nut and bolt shop!) and bought the strongest ones they had. I think it cost me about three bucks.
