Title: torque specs for front brake caliper?
Post by: daron on April 09, 2007, 06:58:25 PM
Hi again,

I'm about to change my front brake pads (with help from Kerry's photos, very helpful he is!) and I read that I need to put them back on with blue loc-tite and torque the bolts that hold the caliber on the fork back down.  I have a torque wrench  but I don't know the proper torque specifications. 

If anyone has a clymer manual and wouldn't mind passing those numbers on to me I'd appreciate it.  I'm going to buy a manual the next time I'm back in Texas. (Mexico is a little shy of Clymers)

Thanks!
Daron
