I looked in the service manual and it doesn't say how much torque to put on the fitting that goes into the primary or where to put the o-ring? Also how much torque should I put on the wireform that holds the cable away from the exhaust header? Seems like the SM has some holes. Thanks. | ||

Good and snug Be careful not to over tighten the clutch cable. | ||

If that is the same as the tuber clutch cables, that fitting on the on the primary end is aluminum. The SM calls for 3-5 foot pounds and that is a dumb way to specify it. I would think of it as 36-60 in/lbs and I would go for 30 in/lb or even less as a start. If I felt it was snugging down and the O-ring partially deformed, I would quit there. The threaded shank on that fitting is known to be VERY EASY TO BREAK OFF in the course of trying to get it as tight as you might think it needs to be. With the normal curves in the cable, and the adjuster lock nutted, that fitting probably can't rotate itself loose anyway. You can test that by trying to rotate it. I don't have the torque specs for that wireform. You manual may have some general torque specs in the Appendix (mine does) so you could look up the fastener size if nothing else. Jack | ||

Sounds like a plan, thanks guys, I'll check the appendix for general torque specs and get it done right. |
