Topic: CB500 nut/bolt torque values?

[roach374]

I'm trying to be conscientious and tighten the nuts & bolts & screws on my bike to spec values, instead of "as tight as I can get it", or "reasonably tight", but I can't seem to find torque values anywhere in the shop manual, owner's manual, Clymer's or the parts list.

Specifically, I'm looking for the right torque for the rear axle nut, banjo bolts, and a couple of other things.

Am I blind? Where can I find these values?

See pages 2 and 3   http://manuals.sohc4.net/cb500/service_manual/HSM500550_1.pdf

*facepalm*. I knew it had to be in there somewhere. Who would have thought to look on literally the first page?

I'm an idiot. Thanks!

Easily done - we've all been there.
Pity Mr Honda didn't do the same in the CB750 manual.

On a related note: If, for the sake of argument, I wanted to replace every nut, bolt, screw and washer on this bike, properly lubed, thread-locked, and torqued, where would I find a list of all that hardware? Looking at the page you mentioned is a good start, but it doesn't list quantities for the "standard parts"

You would have to check every part number at an online shop as Honda normally lists sizes there. If not ots a "special"
