Axle torque spec
First, I've ordered the service manual but don't have it yet.
I'm doing my 1k service and part of it is to check the axle torque. The bike is a 2020 touring model (FLHR). Does anyone have those handy they could share?
Thanks,
RLK

The rear axle nut torque spec for '20 touring bikes increased over previous years, not sure what the number is now but it's higher than what's listed in the chart above.
Maybe someone with a '20 service manual can chime in here.
ETA: Found the correct torque spec in another thread, it's now 135-145 ft-lbs (they changed the rear axle and cam adjusters on the '20 models)
