front axle nut torque spec
« on: January 30, 2014, 02:15:23 AM »
The manual says 115 Nm??  This cannot possibly be correct.

That does seem like a lot to me.  Most of my IC motorcycles specify around 80Nm as a torque value for the front axle and typically 100Nm for the rear axle.  On the other hand the Empulse seems to have a larger front axle and securing nut than most other motorcycles that I am familiar with.  So maybe the value is correct.   ???
