Torque Settings / Drehmoment Tabelle

[bob2.0]

Introduction;

I have not seen anyone collect torque settings together, and I suggest we do this for e-Odin.

We may or may not know what they are (if you do, please share).

My suggestion is that we use a torque setting that other motorcycles typically use, try that.

If it loosens, then it wasn't enough!

If it is difficult to remove later, it was too tight!

If we explain later in the text why we used it, we can have a discussion, maybe improve the table over time.

I will edit it, if I notice or you drop me a PM. If you think a setting is too high or too low, please do let me know, these are what I am setting my bike to.

Not otherwise stated (settings not tested on specific parts, use your own judgement):
M5, all metal parts _____________________ 4 Nm
M6, all metal parts _____________________ 10 Nm

M5, with plastic parts ___________________ 1 Nm

Most bike brake discs are around 12 to 18Nm. When I used 18Nm it seemed too little. The disc that I had not moved seemed to be more than 18 Nm.

Caliper mounts are usually high, I went for 38 Nm, this is normal.

The lower fork bolts were looser than 23 Nm. I had not touched these, but when I tightened them they must have been only 15 Nm or so. I put on about half a turn to bring them to 23 Nm.
