Hi,

Just picked up a replacement bolt for one that fell off my bike.

It's one that holds the pillion peg subframe to the frame of the bike. (10mm x 30mm).

Two questions:

1. What kind of torque setting would I use for a bolt like that?
2. Is it "normal" to use locktite in this kind of application?

Cheers,

hi my fz manual has under general torques for a 10mm bolt 22 ft-lb [30nm]
wouldnt heart to use locktite if the last one came out in my opinion
