Topic: Rear Fork Pivot tightening

[Popwood]

For my 550 K, is there a torque value when tightening the nuts? Or maybe this is a simplistic question. What then do I need to know? Thanks.

There probaby is but BT is what i use, yuuse the bot, which is NOT a pivot, to cam the machined colar between the frame sides

Bloody tight

[jonda500]

think he meant that you use the bolt/shaft & nut/nuts to 'jam' the collar between the frame rails?

Thats how it is designed, the collar is fractionally longer than the arm with bushes and thrusts fitted so it is trapped by the frame wnen the bolt is tight, collar stays still and bushes pivot on it
