Correct tightening torque of threaded fasteners is very important to your safety.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. In case of a conflict between the
instructions in this manual and information provided by a component manufacturer,
consult with your dealer or the manufacturer's customer service representative for
clarification.
Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose
can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt.
Always use a correctly calibrated torque wrench to tighten critical fasteners
on your bike. Carefully follow the torque wrench manufacturer's instructions on
the correct way to set and use the torque wrench for accurate results.
