74 CB550 front sprocket torque specs
« on: May 06, 2021, 05:59:05 PM »
74 CB550- Does anyone know the torque specs for the two 6mm bolts that hold on the front sprocket? I can't seem to track it down. Also, do you use loctite on them?

Thanks in advance.

Dont need a torque just tight and no to locktite if you ever want the sprocket off again

Blue loctite is totally fine on these. I use it as an assurance since there is no other locking mechanism.
