Tightening Torque
Left Front Fork Cylinder Unit:
34 N·m (3.5 kgf·m, 25 ft·lb)
Right Front Fork Spring Adjuster Unit:
34 N·m (3.5 kgf·m, 25 ft·lb)
NOTE
○
The torque of left front fork cylinder unit and right
front fork top plug are specified to 34 N·m (3.5
kgf·m, 25 ft·lb) however, when you use the top
plug wrench (special tool: 57001-1645), reduce
the torque to 90% of the specified value (31 N·m
(3.1 kgf·m, 23 ft·lb)) due to the distance between
the center of the square hole, where the torque
wrench is fitted, and that of the octagonal hole of
the wrench.
○
This torque value (31 N·m (3.1 kgf·m, 23 ft·lb)) is
applicable when you use a torque wrench whose
length gives leverage of approximately 310 mm
(12.2 in.) between the grip point to the center of
the coupling square.
