Hi, im in the process of putting a new clutch in my race bike (gsxr400) and Im after a ballpark setting for my torque wrench for the clutch spring bolts. Its a 5 bolt set up and they have spacers on the bolts to tighten them against.
I was thinking that around the 5 - 7 N.m range would be appropirate, but I dont have much experiance with torqure settings and I cant find a manual, so if any one with a bit of experiance doing this could provide me with a ballpark setting that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
