Engine mounting bolt tq question

[caryt]

I got the fairing off :dribble: now to tighten all the engine mount bolts ..left side first to hopefully get rid of some of the right handle bar vibration. Question is do I loosen all the bolts first then do the left side in the proper order?

thanks, Cary

Yes, otherwise the two sides of the engine/frame unit will be fighting one another. If you loosen both sides, then you will be able to tighten the engine to the left side of the frame cradle and that should allow everything to come into alignment (the driveshaft being on the left side).
