Topic: How much torque to put on this screw?

[Moosey]

I am replacing some seals on the shifter section of my 1971 cb500. When I was taking apart the shifter mech under the clutch, I noticed that this screw was loose. When I put it back on and tightened it it seemed to bind the cam plate abit. How much torque do you put on this screw? It is shown in the pick below, I pointing to it with a screwdriver.

And also for the 10mm bolt to the right of it that holds the arm. Thanks

I don't think you can overtighten that screw by hand with a screwdriver. Put some loctite on it as well.

Any others have any input?

If you can't find a torque rating in the shop manual use the standard metric torque values mystic suggested. Anything else is a guess.

That's nice that they commented on the wet/dry issue.
