  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Tightening Torques clarification?!?!

So after my recent episode of overtorquing my aftermarket front axle nut, resulting in rounding it and awaiting some Easy outs for removal....opened up owners manual and need clarification on the following:

on page 258/259 of manual for TE 450:
Front Wheel axle fastening screw - 38ft/lb
Front Wheel axle - 104.8ft/lb

On page 245/255

Front wheel axle fastening screw - 7.7ft/lb ?!?!?!?!
Front Fork Leg fastening screw - 18.4 ft/lb

so.....which one should I be torquing the FRONT axle nut to?!?! Odd.....very....Odd.....I'm going to guess the 38 ft/lb considering I torqued to the 104.8 ft/lb...REAR axle should be torqued to the 104?? Thanks in advance
 
axle pinch bolts are low torque and 8 ft/lbs is plenty, the axle torque is good at 38.... Fork triple clamp pinch bolts should be no more than 15 on the top and 12 on the bottom.. lastly, the rear axle "can" be torqued to 104, but that is completely unnecessary.... 85 or so is plenty. The tool kit wrench that was provided would never get it torqued to 104 and if it was torqued to 104, you would never loosen it.
