Torque Settings??

[FZSteely]

Does anyone know of a list or have a link to Torque settings for a FZS600? 98-02 model? It would be very helpful thanks.

The Haynes manual has most of them. Pretty sure the version for 98-01 is floating about as a download if you google

have a look in hot poop. You should find the Yamaha manuals in there for the fazers with the official figures rather than the Haynes alternatives (which are normally right)

I have a Haynes here. If there are a COUPLE of specific ones you are after, I will get them for you. However, the torque settings are not all listed together, so I won't (read - not spending all day  ) be able to get all of them for you.

Just a note, don't use Copper Grease AND a torque wrench as the settings go totally out of the window, as I found out with my rear caliper.
Okay to use normal oil if you want correct torque settings and a bit of lube though.

Copper Grease will make a bolt slippery so will take a lot more effort before it clicks, and by then it's too late, stripped thread, but oil works fine.

If copper grease makes that much of a difference I wouldn't use it on ANY high torque applications since if you can't reach the correct torque without stripping the thread then the bolts will never be at the correct torque and are at risk of rattling loose

Think caliper bolt was about 10Nm and it shredded it, then got told on here what I mentioned earlier and saw test results online that confirmed it was a very bad idea.

I thought the calliper bolts were higher than that (the ones holding the calliper to the forks) - more like 40Nm (yup, 40Nm according to Haynes)



Oh and here is the link to the 98-01 Haynes; http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=22

Thanks for the tips, all very useful. I am writing up a list so i'll post it here for you all, if any of you would find it useful

Sorry, it was the pad pin i meant.


I could've thread locked it in, and the plan was then to attempt to get a helicoil put in but there's not a lot of room to play with so i bought a decent used caliper from Unfazed then didn't really pursue it any further.

Ah yeah, the pad pins makes a lot more sense - those things are a very small thread and easy to strip plus its easy for them to seize... great combo that :P

Thought I was doing the right thing using a bit of copper grease and a torque wrench......apparently not.

[Dead Eye]

To be honest, I would probably have done the same thing - depends on how close I was to the torque wrench as to whether I'd bothered to use it or not... (low torque stuff I tend to do a bit of guesswork on - perhaps no the best idea but I've never had any issues)

Its ok to do it, but the torque setting changes when using grease.You should be able to find a calculator online.
I torque bolts and nuts on studs at work up to 900lb and it is mandatory to copper grease them, the torque figures take into account the fact that grease is used and are calculated for us before we start the job.

I'll either use my own judgement from now on by nipping bolts up, or use the oil method if it's a bit more sensitive.
I handle minuscule allen head screws on film cameras worth up to £250K on a daily basis so i'm generally not heavy handed anyway, that's why i was a bit disappointed when i cross threaded the rear caliper.
