Hi hoping someone can help me out changing a belt on a 2006 883 sportster for a girl that i know and she moved and cant find her service manual trying to find the torque specs for rear
axle nut and the rear caliper mounting bolts.Thx for the help
If you aren't in a rush, my bud has a Sportster with a manual close to the year of your friends 883. I'll swing by his place later and publish those figures here if he's home.
When they say a torque range of say..95 in lbs to 105 in lbs for example, what do they mean?
Do they mean you want to get to 105 in lbs or keep it at 95 in lbs? How do you know what range to choose?
thx
When it comes to torque ranges I usually use the lower end of the published range. That is, unless it calls for a stepped torquing procedure. Then i'll use the middle of the range and at the last step, use the lower end. It's worked for me.
