Topic: torque amount 550K clutch spring bolts

[pablo78cb550]

can not find any info on the procedure for tightening clutch spring bolts.
manual just says install spring bolts and then the clutch cover.
on my Yamaha's there is a torque setting, do Honda's not have one?

and yes, that is my living room.

I want to say 8 or 10 ft lbs... it's low, I remember that. Had to use my inch lbs wrench, and I want to say it was something like 96 inch lbs.

Finger tight then half a turn maybe if you don't have a wrench that will go low enough.

Also, I believe there is a section in the manual that has generic torque values for each size bolt for use when a torque value isn't specified.

so tighten them down(within reason) till they stop?

I've stripped a set, how I know. I'd get them finger tight then do 1/2 to 3/4 turn, that should be close. Don't go bearing down on it, they'll strip in a heartbeat.

i guess i should have said i did it that way in the begining. but then the clutch wouldn't work.
i had to screw them in farther for the cover to fit and cltuch to work properly. i guess my question is, how far should they be screwed in? rather what the torque setting is.
and i tighten one a little further and another becomes loose. obiviously they need to be even.
