Swingarm Torque?
« on: July 26, 2011, 07:22:21 AM »
I just had Hondaman rebuild the swingarm on my K1. My service manual does not give a torque setting for the main bolt. Is this just "snug it up" or do I really need to crank it down?

Not sure about the K1. On my 76 750F the shop manual gives 32.5-50 ft pounds. Honda calls it the "rear fork pivot nut".

Ah...I will check again to see if it is listed under pivot nut. Thanks...
