torque

Can't find the size of the nut, kids have moved my cd-rom, but according to the book the torque setting needs to be 93N-m / 69lb-ft when putting back together.

Please check this when removing, I hate you to tighten it too much

Have the manual on the system at work, not sure which one you are on about but here are a few choices !
Rear Axle 18mm
Final Drive Sprocket nut 12mm
Shock Upper mounting 10mm
Shock Lower 10mm
Shock to swing 10mm
Swing arm pivot nut 18mm
Nothing in the "Rear Wheel / Suspension" section bigger than 18mm
If it's none of these send me your mail address and I'll send the page of sizes as an attachment.

I always go abit bigger :wink:

but dya have two big rachets/t-bars to hold both ends of the bolt, can't use a spanner. If your taking it off then loosen it before you put the bike on a lifting stand, saves pulling the bike off d stand whilst ya popping blueies out ya arms.
