Does anyone have a torque setting for the bolt that holds the rear caliper on a Yamaha RD250E?

The Haynes that covers the "E" models is an excersize in vague. Use your common sense is probably the best policy. Also "E" calipers are shite.


Already looked at the Haynes and as you said, it's a bit crap. I asked on the RD forum but so far I've only had 4 views in 2 hours.

When I took it off I put my torque wrench on 20Nm and reversed it and it came off without a click so it was tightened up to less than 20Nm which seems quite low to me.

who uses a torque wrench for anything unless they're on a production line? Confused

I do.

In the end I tightened it up to 20Nm.
