Torque Setting Question

Anyone got a file they can add with torque setting for axles, pinch bolts, brake calipers, etc. I have an excel file for my old GSXR and they are easy to find....V2 not so much. Also, if anyone has ever found a service manual or a place to by one would appreciate a point in that direction too.

I generally like to add tape to my different sockets with the settings on there to makes it easy at the track.
 
Wow ....230 Nm on rear wheel nut! Anyone else using something different that seems awfully tight as that is what about a 160 ft-lbs for us Yanks.
 
169 ft-lbs.

I would not deviate from that because it seems awfully tight. It was spec'd that way for a reason.
 
Many discussions about the rear axle nut, make an index mark on it and retighten to the same mark for fast changes without the torque wrench. Be careful with the front axle pinch bolts, Ohlins and Marzocchi are different and quite a few have stripped them.
 
If preventing it from loosening is the goal, the spring clip does that. I think the torque has more to do with side to side forces and keeping everything, bearings, hub etc properly situated.

Speculation, but I wonder if it was reverse thread if the rotation would lead to it tightening if there was no spring clip.

I tighten the rear wheel to 195Nm. With frequent tire changes, 230Nm is nonsense

I disagree that's bad advice, you may not like it and 195 might work but the factory spec is 230nm for a reason. I check mine occasionally against the index mark, but with the correct tools 230nm is just as easy as 195, 150, or thats about right.
 
I have to agree with Paul and add just because you don't know the reason its spec'd at 230 Nm, doesn't mean that figure isn't valid.

ok, I sometimes change the rear tire twice a day and it seems pointless to destroy the thread. These torque values are dimensioned with a large margin.
Everyone's choice

engineers love to leave 10% safety margin, and doesnt the workshop manual say -+ 10% too?
