I am attempting to change my brake pads on my 1125r and needed to know the toque specs for the front and rear axle, as well as, the specs for the front and rear caliber bolts

Thank you in advance!

Rear Caliper Bolts 31.8-35.3 Nm (23.5-26 Lbs)
Rear Axle preliminary 31.2-36.6 Nm (23-27 Lbs)
Back off rear axle 720 degrees (2 turns)
Rear Axle final 65.1-70.5 Nm (48-52 Lbs)
Rear Pinch bolt 54-61 Nm (40-45 Lbs)

Front Caliper Bolts 48-50 Nm (35-37 Lbs)
Front pad pin hangers 14.7-19.6 Nm (11-15 Lbs)
Front axle 53-56 Nm (39-41 Lbs)
Front pinch bolts 27-30 Nm (20-22 Lbs)

By the way, there are two conflicting torque specs in the 08 manual for the rear caliper and p-clamp on pages 1-31 and 2-24. I used the specs from page 2-24 above. The specs on 1-31 have you tightening the the caliper bolts to 18-20 Lbs.

No tool-kit? There's one in there.
Find a bolt with a 7/8 head.
I used a nylon screwdriver handle that was a tight fit once. Vise-grips.

The previous owner must have kept the tool kit, my father is going to get a 7/8 in hex tool steel piece of rod that i can fit into a socket.

i looked for a tool handle or bolt head already and the closest was 1/8 inch off

so i am either going to call a friend or wait till monday i believe

You don't need to remove the wheel to change the pads.

On the rear wheel, just a little trick to line up the big holes in the rotor with the bolts on the caliper.

On the front, line up the spokes of the wheel with the slots on the back side of the caliper.

Ok, so i have some tools and i have the stop hex bolt off for the axle and i am not trying to take off the axle for the rear wheel.

Is that regular threading? CCW to loosen, right?

if any one has any further information or input for this job, please feel free to post it

thanks,

Axles are left hand thread. Look on the swing arm beside the axle. There is a cute little drawing.
