Title: Torque Spec SSS pinch bolts - I am definitely getting weaker in my old age Post by: dbran1949 on May 05, 2016, 10:22:36 AM Anybody know what the Torque Specs are for the eccentric pinch bolts for an 07 Monster S4RS? I have always had this done with regular servicing at the dealer in San Diego, but now I have the bike up in Portland OR while consulting on a project up here and can't find a good time slot to get it into the dealer up here.
I thought this would be pretty straight forward but when I went to loosen the bolts I was unable to. Is this normal - I was using a 3/8 drive ratchet (gear wrench) which has a fairly long handle. Is it typical to have to use a 1/2 inch breaker bar on these things?

I don't remember the specs, but that's over-tightened...

If there isn't enough grease, they can be hard to turn. Title: Re: Torque Spec SSS pinch bolts - I am definitely getting weaker in my old age Post by: dbran1949 on May 05, 2016, 02:19:18 PM Would it be ok to put a little penetrating oil on them - there is no corrosion but they are very dry

Don't get it on your brake disk. Title: Re: Torque Spec SSS pinch bolts - I am definitely getting weaker in my old age Post by: S21FOLGORE on May 05, 2016, 04:48:35 PM The manual says
33 N-m (24 ft-lb.) in 1-2-1 sequence. (The manual also says apply “Grease B”. Grease B is molybdenum disulfide grease, any CV joint grease will do fine. I use this one. You can find them at NAPA.)
