GT Pro 900 torque settings wheels/calipers

[Berin]

I need to change the brake pads on Mrs Berin’s GT900 Pro, but I don’t have any torque settings for wheels and calipers. Triumph seem to guard the workshop manual very carefully so I can’t find any online either.

Does anyone happen to have them? It’s a 2024 bike.

Sorry I can’t help with the torque settings. I’ve just had my brake pads replaced whilst my 2022 Rally Pro was in for the three year service.over 16000 miles out of the old set. How many miles has your GT Pro got on it?
The Triumph forum can probably help you out with the settings.

If you can wait until tomorrow, I may have a copy of the workshop manual. Not sure but I think I have a copy on my work PC.

undo them with your torque wrench in reverse .
use your brain a bit.

what size and pitch ?

lets take a guess , 55nm

The settings can be viewed in the online owners manual, 110 Nm is about right for the rear wheel, don’t ask me how I know, but you should get the others you need too maybe?

110nm for rear as @Gary_P has said..

65 for front axle
45 for front brake calipers
22 for front pinch bolts

Copy of manual is available for download on most Facebook Tiger 900 forums.

Thanks for that as a mate just asked me to put some front pads in his tiger 1200.

It’s Mrs Berin’s bike, done about 5000 miles and the pads are down to a couple of mm on the front. On her last bike she got nearly to the metal backing at about 5k miles. A lots less than you seem to manage! She does commute through winter and the country roads around here are pretty grim so I wonder if that’s why.

Thanks for that - I don’t use Facebook and couldn’t find any online manuals.

 

[Berin]

If any has the manual or a link I’d appreciate it. I can only find the user manual online. It’s a 2024 Tiger 900 GT Pro

OK, I've checked and have a service manual for the 2022 Tiger 900 GT Pro. I don't know if there are any mechanical changes between 2022 and 2024 but if there are, I doubt there are many. It's rather large at 28Mb, so too big to send over in an email. If it's any good to you, let me have your email address and I will send it to you using WeTransfer.

I’ll send a pm - thanks very much for this,

Thanks, I did find that but it’s for an 850 Sport - I’m sure a lot of the figures are the same but I don’t want to risk it

When I read the original blog, I’m convinced it said 850/900. So maybe it’s worth another look and check.

Do you think that the dealers use a torque wrench for everything?
I doubt it. Also, has the torque wrench been calibrated and are the bolts dry, oiled as this will give a different degree of tightness.
Not being difficult, but bolts I’ve undone on new bikes and after dealer servicing are rarely consistent with recommended torque settings.

None of that means it’s a good idea to refit brakes without torquing up correctly, or at least as close as possible

I agree. But with experience most people will get it right.
If you are not experienced, or unsure then a torque wrench is a good idea. But, as said, you need to know if the torque settings are with lubricated bolts, dry bolts , bolts with thread lock on as all will give different degrees of tightness.

Thanks for your help. I’ll go back now and check the approximately ten million bolts I’ve ever tightened with a torque wrench now.

All I needed was the torque settings which I now have, but thanks anyway

Out of interest, what were the figures you were given? I've got the Tiger Sport 660 WSM and wonder if the figures are similar.
