Rebuilding my NSR250

[Mr. Peanut]

My engines ok at the moment, I'm gonna give it 9000 more odd Km and then rebuild the top end.

What I want to know is, how many of you use a torque wrench? I know its important, but a torque wrench is expensve and I cant seem to find one with a low enough range for my bike.

Help, does it matter?? What do you guys do? Are rebuilds easy enough, The instructions are online.

:rockon:

Torque wrenches aren't too badly priced if you keep an eye on the specials. Try someone big like Automotive Supplies.

I havent rebuilt yet, and probably wont due to the mad price of nsr bits, but I found my brothers old torque wrench so i would use it if I did it. So I'll say yes.

What a steaming load of uselessness that is to ya though.

Good idea to use one if you can though, can be sure it's all kosher, but if you're really skimpin' it I imagine as long as you nip it up tight you'll be alright.

It over tightening im worried about, and uneven bolt tension.

Anyone got one I could buy for cheap? Not one of these old school bendy ones, I need a clicky one, if you know what I mean :nya:
Damn luminum castings....

Either get a good torque wrench or get a good mechanic to do it for you....
Be sure to put new circlips in, I found out from experience...... :(
