Banjo Bolt Torque Setting

#1 PostAuthor: bulldogbobby » Wed Jan 11, 2017 12:18 pm

Had a look around but can't seem to find a definitive torque setting for s/s M10x 1.25 banjo bolts - seen 18NM, does that sound about right?

Cheers

Does anybody torque those?

I think there are a large number of fasteners on an old motorcycle (or any motorcycle) where "mechanics by numbers" is not to be desired.

Case screws, banjo bolts, fork pinch bolts, caliper mount bolts, anything that screws into aluminium, to name but a few.
Cheers,

Mark.

Fair comment but if that's the case, why bother listing torque settings for most of them in the manual? I'd rather err on the side of caution!....

Your inbuilt torqueometer is just as valuable as anything you can buy from Snapon etc :)
