Anyone know ...

...the torque value for the bolts holding the "fins" to the engine on an RSV. I am going to flush the clutch system and I can't find a value anywhere for torquing down those screws. The service manual mentions removing them but doesn't show a torque for replacing them. Also, someone said that they fixed a cruise control problem caused by too much freeplay in the clutch lever by replacing the bushing in the lever. The manual doesn't show a bushing unless it's the thick part of the screw that holds on the lever. Other than that, there's a "Holder (Push Rod)" in he hole next to the screw. Anyone know?

 

Thanks,

I don't know about the cruse control but I have had the fins off mine a few times and just use a 1/4" ratchet to tighten them up. Haven't had any trouble with them.

The hole in the lever that the bolt goes through over time becomes more of an oval. It might be time for a new one. I have seen the bushing type used but I can't remember the models. I used to work on a bunch of XS/XJ 1100's back a few years, it could be one of those.

I am pretty sure its 7.2 ft lbs but someone may want to verify.

Actually, that sounds about right when I check other parts with similar sized bolts that don't seal something up. I'll try that and see how it feels.

So I might need a new lever or the bracket the lever fits in?
