i know this has probably been discussed, but i for some reason couldn't find anything. so i was wondering if anyone knew what the torque specs for the bolts on the front rotor of an 03 xb9r were? thanks!

25-27 ft lbs in a criss-cross pattern. did you replace the rotor mounting hardware? these pieces are one time use only and can crack very easily if you re use them. if you dont replace them, you can have brake failure. why are you replacing your rotor anyways?

even though your just swapping the rotor over, it is still very important that you replace the hardware. better to spend the money and to be safe than sorry.
