Hi there I have a 08 Cross Bones and need to know the torque specs. for the front/rear axle and drive pulley. Maintence book has been ordered but I have mounted new tires yeaterday and dont want to wait for its arrival. Thanks. Tim

 

Front axle 60-65 ft lbs. Rear axle 95-105 ft pds. Pulley bolts initial torque 60 ft lbs.Back off 1/2 turn then torque to final of 77-83 ft lbs.

 

Thats it. Thanks

 

My manual specs 55-65 ft/lbs for the rear sprocket screws. It also says to always use new screws.

 

That's what is says in the 2007 manual too, but my 2009 manual states what
Malinger posted : initial torque 60 ft lbs. Back off 1/2 turn then torque to final of 77-83 ft lbs.

2009 manual also states to discard the front axle nut and get a new one for the xbones.

 

My info was from the 2010 Softail Manual

 

Also I thought I seen in here to use the blue loctite,, the one that breaks away if needed.

 

+1 on Blue Loctite. Also a light film of Chassis Grease on the Axle Shaft (but not the threads).

 

+1 on blue LocTite. Also remember to reduce the torque by about 20% is using LocTite or anti-seize due to the lubrication of the threads.

 

+1 on the blue loctite. Still no manual but I have not heard about replacing the pulley bolts. I suspect grade 8's will do? I took the bike out for a test ride but will replace the bolts if needed. Thanks for all the replies. Tim
