The service manual for my 07 R6 specifies 100 Nm (72 ftlb) for the rear wheel sprocket self-locking nuts. This seems high. The "general" tightening torque for a garden variety (steel) 14 mm nut is 30 Nm (22 ftlb), which seems reasonable. I thought that since the nut and bolt are steel, perhaps the spec of 100 Nm was correct, if unusual. I now think the 100 Nm value is a typo, as I stripped one of the nuts trying to achieve 100 Nm. :doh: Another possibility is that I used a torque wrench that maxes at 100 Nm. I understand that the accuracy at the extremes of the torque wrench are off, but I didn't think it would be so much as to result in damage.
Does anyone know the correct tightening torque specs for the the 07 R6 drive hub? Any other ideas? Thanks.
