SV650 S M10 Engine Bolt - Torque setting

Hi all,

I’ve just had my crash protectors delivered, and the fitting instructions say to tighten to the manufacturers reccomended setting. I don’t have a Haines manual and I’d like to get these fitted tonight, so I don’t suppose anyone would know what the correct setting is?

Any help would be great :slight_smile:

Cheers,
James

Not to hand but call a suzuki dealer asap before they close.

do it up tight, then twat it with a rubber mallet a couple of times

Didn’t get chance to call a dealer, should’ve thought about that earlier!

Think I’ll leave it, tempting as the rubber mallet sounds! Can’t find any K6 specific info online either :frowning:

Cheers anyway :slight_smile:

If the bolt is going into steel, yes … but, if it’s bolting into aluminium, just a good hand tight bolt is probably best. Having said that, it’s always difficult to make a recommendation like this as one person’s " hand tight " may be different to another’s. After working on bikes for a few years, you just get a feel for these things.
