Just done mine.
But mines a rotax.

Im sure it was 72 nm for the axle bolt.

The rest i just did tight with a spot of lock tight on to stop them vibrating out

it is strange how they work out the torque on bolts . an 8nm bolt is 22nm but i have seen them at 10nm as cuz said

a 6mm bolt in a rover cam carrier box is 11nm but on the vauxhall corsa its 7nm . its mental

i would have thought the torque values for the ktm forks would be the same as our forks but i maybe wrong


bit of nerdy fact here . a bolt is only as strong as it's thickness as it pertains to the depth of what you're screwing it into. In other words, screwing a 5mm thick/wide bolt any deeper than 5mm into a slab of steel won't make the union any stronger.

I just use common sense, and tighten till my elbow clicks. never had a wheel fall off yet

Only bolts/nuts I ever torque up are head bolts/nuts
If it aint sharp I can play with it

Maybe the low torque is to stop the original cheese bolts rounding off :lol:
