darthandy Posted September 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 2, 2013 ...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?

slowrollwv Posted September 2, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gscbertrand Posted September 2, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2013 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.

etcswjoe Posted September 2, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2013 I am pretty sure its 7.2 ft lbs but someone may want to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
