Givi engine bars
« on: January 15, 2016, 14:22:57 »
Afternoon all quick question do the bolts that attach to the engine for the bars need to be torqued up or just tight by hand

Cheers phil :)

The bars are fixed by replacement (longer) bolts which support the upper engine mounting brackets. They are in the Manual at 35Nm and I'd have them torqued up to the same. I did with my Heed bars. HTH. :)
So how's it going so far then?

I used copper-slip on the engine mounting bolts before torquing down. Makes it easier to remove at a later stage if required. Also remember to add a tap washer on either end of the bar spacer near the oil cooler - should help minimize any vibration
