Any one know the Tork values for mounting ? Is it a easy in and out for the stock bolt and new ? I just picked up a New 2011 FJR 8-24-11. Joined the forum 8-26-11 and am just learing to get around on the Forum.

Thanks for yorr help

Dealer told me 35 lbs for the engine mount bolts; went with that. I attempted to get an answer from Motivation Accessories, but phone messages and fax were ignored.

I went with 35 lbs and used a bit of blue Locktite just to be on the safe side.

The service manual calls for 40 ft-lb. Stock lower engine mount bolt(s) will come out easy. IIRC the Moko sliders have different spacers for the left and right, make sure you follow the instructions. Replace the left engine mount first and then move over to the right side. I used a dab of blue loctite as well just for insurance purposes.

Definitely worth the investment.

Have fun!

Hmmmm, my 08 service manual says 35 ft lbs for those mounts...

Have they increased that to 40 for newer models? Very Interesting...

Definitely interesting, as I took the number from my old GEN I service manual, pages 5-4 through 5-6, assuming that nothing has been changed. So I guess the sweet spot is 35 - 40 ft-lb...

Smart move! I found one of mine had loosened up after 2K of riding. I was lucky - caught it on a preride inspection, before it fell out
