Topic: Clutch basket spring tension

[stereosilence]

Under the plate that holds the clutch basket on, there are 4 springs under 4 bolts. Do I tighten these 4 bolts all the way down?

Yes, tighten them all the way down.  Torque them to the recommended torque for that size bolt (6mm).  Honda manuals give a torque requirement for a lot of things, some manuals don't have a torque requirement for certain bolts, but there is a section showing general torque values based on the bolt size.  I don't remember what the values are off hand but I think for 6mm, it's around 8ft/lb.

Here ya go:  5.7 - 8ft/lb

BTW, it's #20 on the pic.  Sorry forgot to say that.

I don't have a torque wrench. Guess it will just be a bit more than finger tight.

Thanks for the help.

go slow and a little at at time on each bolt or you can crack the plate.
