Crankcase cover.

Hello again,

Does anybody know if the bolts need to be torqued up on the R/Hand crankcase cover, also do they need tightening in a particular order ?

Thanks in advance :wink:

WHOA there!!!!!!

Army got his figures way wrong!! he was thinking of the starter clutch cover, not the clutch cover!!

clutch cover bolts are only around 10 -14ft-lbs torque based upon their size and what they're threading into.

 

I think he's talking about the cover and not the actual crankcase.....27-30 lb ft.....you better get a helicoil kit.

 

Funny thing is m8's is that when I read this yesterday and was tightning up the 3 bolts on the starter clutch to 30 lb I thought jee wizz if I use 27 to 30 on the crankcase bolts which are only 8mm I thought then that they would snap like carrots :redface:

So the crankcase is on, I did these bolts by feel so far no leaks but I can't start my bike, not sure to carry this on here or another new post, though my battery is on charge and I'll try again today :wink:

Thanks for warning me Squirrelman and Norcalboy :wink:

Standard torque on a 6 x 1 bolt is 6-9 ft pounds, unless the bolt's hardened.

 

SORRY!!! I was looking at the book, not realizing that it was refering to the cover on the clutches. I'm glad they chimed in before you cranked on it. I was thinking it was high, but I've seen small bolts tight.

Again, sorry. Glad you got it together okay.
