Radial caliper torque setting

MumboJumbo · Sep 18, 2013

Hi guys,

Taken my wheels off (2003 RSVR) to have new tyres fitted, and seem to have lost my Haynes manual. Can someone please tell me what torque setting I need to do up the caliper mounting bolts (radial) please?

Cheers.

When you refit your front wheel to Ohlins forks this is the way it must be done to avoid cracking the spindle clamps & also blowing your fork seals.

It's a pain in the arse but this is how it needs to be done
Lift wheel into place & slide in spindle from L/H side
Do up L/H pinch bolts to specified torque (12nm)
Fit axle washer & nut & do up to specified torque
Do up R/H pinch bolts to specified torque. (12nm)
Fit brake calipers to specified torque (50nm)
Slacken off L/H pinch bolts
Take bike off stand apply brakes & pump the forks several times to settle forks, brakes etc into position.
Do up L/H pinch bolts to correct torque (12nm)

Job done

Otherwise check this out.

Thanks Nik, I was looking for this earlier on - I was sure the procedure was on the forum but couldn't find it.

I don't want cracked forks so this one's getting printed off and going in the toolbox!!!
