K2 Razorback RSX Swingarm Bolt Torque Values
«

Hello All,
It's that time of the year for a bit of servicing and I'm wondering if anyone has torque values of the RSX swingarm shock pinch bolts as well as the other swingarm bolts.
Being in posession of a repaired RSX I don't want to cause any more breakages/stresses by over or under torquing.
I remember for the Proflex 3000 there was a mighty list of values, but I can't for the life of me find this for the Razorback.
Kindest regards,
Rigmarole

I used to use the torque values but lost the list and found I have the feel anyway. I also found that "snug with a dash of blue loctite" is the ticket.

torque wrench should not replace common sense ... and experice nad fieel , justl ive shovelon says, you get a feel of how tight to do up a bolt - and I err on undertightening with a dab of loctice.
with allen keys I hold them with 2 finger and thumb close to the right angle part and that is tight enough in most cases (e.g. for alluminium alloy bolts or Ti bolts onto carbon fibre parts). I mean you can get quite a huge torque by pulling with all you might with both arms o nthe end of the allen key and watch the bolts snap or thread strip but as I say, common sense.
TBH I don't think there is any part on a bke that needs exact torque, not like a car engine cylinder head bolt.
