Clutch Spring Pressure Plate Tq. value

Okay, I've read this torque spec sheet twice and don't see it, can someone PLEASE help me!

I installed the Ducabike Clear Clutch Cover on my R and also got the New clutch spring pressure plate in red and can't find the torque value for the three bolts that hold the plate on. I saw one value for the clutch drum rated 190 lbs but that definitely is WAY too much for these three small bolts.

These three bolts are kinda important...

Any help is appreciated

Don't worry, I won't be complaining about my white one anymore- I crashed it a week and a half ago- most likely totaled

I read it as 190nm as well according to the torque list I have.....

190nm is equal to 140ft/lbs


Just don't bitch if your clutch cover starts to leak.

Insert a spring in each recess.
Fit retainer
Lubricate screw threads with oil
Start screw
Tighten screws to 10Nm (min 9-11 Nm max) according to the service manual.

Understandable.

I've been holding back, trust me, even the bitching gets myself worked up. Its not worth it.

I think the 190NM is for the nut

Sounds right, you couldn't put 190 on those little bolts, they definitely just strip all the threading.

Thanks scrapper, now its time I finally pick myself up a good torque wrench! Just changed my oil as well. I do regret having them do it previously, what a waste of $$$$ for such a simple job.

Whats the details on your crash?? I assume you were not hurt???

Outright embarrassment, that kinda why I didn't really mention it.
I took my S to class two Wednesday nights ago as my R was in the shop. Got out at 21:05 and it was 20 degrees out, aka the Pirellis were harder than a rock and it was like driving on ice. Rode out of my spot, proceeded forward and came to a right turn which I proceeded through way too fast given all the conditions. I cracked the throttle open ever so slightly and the back end didn't lock up at all. I spun about 180 degrees before meeting the ground. Pick her up, checked out the damage, noticed I still had my lever and rear sets so I continued on home.

Got home and found (at the minimum)
1. cracked clutch cover- oil leaked all over my garage by morning
2. rashed right sider upper & lower fairings
3. impact cracked the windscreen and front fairing
4. steering stop on right side broke off
5. Right side tail plastic rashed
6. CRG bar end mirror and mount rashed and cracked
7. Front brake lever bent to hell
8. passenger seat cowl undertray cracked
9. Seat cowl dashed
10. Cracked up windshield scratched the .... out of my dash
11. DP right side rearsets rashed
God only knows what else

$7,000 in damage from a 10mph low-side
Filed claim w/ Rider. I'm being told by some people they may total it since the steering stop broke off, you ever hear of them doing that??

If only I was on the R that night as it has the Q3's which are a 100x better tire in cold/wet climates.

So the next morning I wake up and the back tire is flat. Great. So I put it on the rear stand to protect the rim and the next morning I find the front tire flat. A total nightmare -__-

Sorry to hear that..... A lot of damage given the speed you hit at....

Glad you are OK.

The answer is yes!
I laid down my S4RS which I ended up riding home for 400 miles.
The tabs were bent, one fork had a scratch and one of the termis had a slight crack.
The insurance company totaled the frame, forks and exhaust which made the damage high enough to call the bike totaled.
I bought it from the insurance for less than 30% of its insured value and fixed it up myself for a few C-notes.
Ended up with a bike and $11,000 in cash.

photos?

I guess I'll see what happens! Sounds like you fared well
Its so sad that a low speed incident does this much damage. Its like wrecking a dirt bike- its almost cheaper to buy a new one than to actually fix it. Gotta love our throw away society.

I took like two photos, neither of which even show any damage- but I took a video showing everything just before it got towed away. I took a few screen shots from the paused video:

Also, the ohlins damper snapped off
