Torque Settings for Bearings

[rendog]

Does anyone know the torque settings for the big and small end bearings for a ZXR250? Engine developed a rattle, have started pulling the engine apart and there are bits of copper in the bottom of the sump. So I need the torque settings for when I put it back together. Are they the same as a 400? Cheers.

I do for the A but not for the C model

Sorry, I don't.

But the muffler bearings should be torqued to 20footpounds or pound foots.

The settings for the "A" might do, cant see how much difference there would be, still an inline 4 with double over head cams and 4 valves per cylinder?

hmm, sounds like the shims are fubar. did the last person put em in backwards?
dont laugh, but they have a little tag on em to stop incorrect placement. well somebody manage to get em in backwards on a mates vtr250, broke the tag off, the oil holes didnt line up and the bearing ran dry and well they dont last long without lubrication.

It the Fan switch sensor located on the right or the left hand side of your radiator?

I'm asking because in the sevice manual it's located on the right, but on my bike it's on the left.
The previous owner had a low km engine put in her, and I suspect most of the running gear, and I'm wondering if it was from a C model ZXR.

The fan switch is on the right hand side. Ive pm'ed you my email address, cheers.
