Service manual torque value....THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT
Long story short I putting a wrinkle black cover on the engine of my 2012 Street Glide. The service manual list 144-156 in-lbs for the primary cover...I'm thinking man that can't be right.
So I check the manual for my 2010 Dyna and it lists 108-120 in-lbs.
They are basically the same covers and bolts...so what gives?
Can anyone check the values for other year model touring bikes and tell me what it list?
Thanks

But 108-120 in-lbs compared to 144-156 in-lbs is a pretty significant difference. I would say enough to at least strip out the heads if not break the bolt all together.
I mean the bolts are the same on both bikes.
I'm thinking 110 in lbs should be plenty.

How do I know that you ask...because I have the service manuals and look at them while I'm working on my bikes.
I question what's in the manual for the 2012 touring bikes beacuse I don't want to strip out a bolt head or threads.
Good enough for ya?

I just checked the 2011Touring manual and its listed as 108-120 in lbs. Follow your manual is the best I can tell you.

Identify the thread size, then check a "generic" torque chart, if it isn't higher than that, it should be ok. My 06 calls for 84-108 in/lb, so there is obviously something different among the models/years.
