1100 Evo front spindle pinch bolts torque
Just re-fitting the front wheel after new tyre fitment.
The official Ducati workshop manual states a torque setting for the spindle clamp pinch bolts as 18NM +/-5% I usually set the torque wrench a bit lower to begin with & after the click then increase it. However, they have tightened up past my comfort zone (you know that sickening feeling when you give it a little more & it suddenly goes slack)? with no sign of a click. I have tried another torque wrench with the same result. I also checked the torque setting for the Sport Classic & they are actually higher at 20NM so it would appear there isn't an error in the manual. I'm rather nervous of a) shearing a bolt or stripping the thread in the fork leg & b) having a pinch bolt come loose whilst riding. Any suggestions? |
