Fork brace

[ndivita]

The Superbrace installation instructions for the 2005 FJR ABS say to "Re-torque axle pinch bolts to factory specification." What is that factory specification? Is it the same 10 lb spec as for the brace itself? Sorry for the dumb question.

I don't have the Service Manual in front of me, but I seem to recall it is pretty light... something like 9 ft-lbs, or maybe 12 ft-lbs.

The pinch bolt is @17 ft-lb and this is after the 10# torque on the brace.

Thank you. I never fail to get answers in this forum.
