(while I wait for my new riders manual)
Can someone please give me the torque spec for the rear and front axles of the r65?
Thank you in advance.

Front axle - 45-50 Nm or 33-37 lbf ft

unless 1986 on then  31-35 NM or 23-26 lbf ft

Rear axles same as front.

unless 1986 on then 98-112 NM or 72-83 lbf ft

1986 on being the monoshocks, don't know what you have.

Axle pinch bolts around 17Nm or  12 lbf ft
