Torque setting for rear wheel nut VStrom 1000 2018
« on: February 23, 2019, 05:24:22 »
I'm about to fit a rear hugger and need to release the rear wheel nut. Could anyone tell me what the torque setting, if there is one for retightening? Cheers Tonybro

I asked the same question a while ago, I'll paste a link to the topic which details the torque values and a reason to ignore Suzuki's recommended values.

Rightly or wrongly I have never used a torque wrench on my axle nut.
I just use the FT setting,but will be interested in how many use a torque wrench for this.
