Just put new tires on the 2000 Monster 900. Haynes Manual only gives torque settings in Newtons or something--not what my torque wrench reads in!
Does anyone know the proper torque settings in foot pounds for the front and rear axle nuts?
Also, do you use a thread lock?
Thanks!
That should be "torque" in the title!
You may want to try an online conversion calculator. For example, I found the following:

ft-lbs = .74 x Nm

I don't mean to sound harsh but really!? Your making a thread because you don't know what N/M "Torgue" converts to Ft/lbs. You obviously have internet access and you've heard of Google right? C'mon
No threadloc, but you should use grease.

Thanks! I posted to get assistance on the question and you provided it. [beer]
I guess I could search Google for an answer as Stormtrooper suggested, but I figured someone here would already know it or have a manual that provided the torque setting in foot pounds. Odd that Haynes doesn't do that.
The search feature here works OK, too ;D
