rear wheel torque settings

[phc1058]

I have the rear wheel off as I've had a new D607 fitted this morning, can someone tell me the correct torque setting to use for the stud/bolts when refitting

For 1200? - if so see http://www.r1200gs.info/misc/torque.html

Bloody tight.

Or, for the pedantic, 60Nm

Bloody tight might be right, but for pre-R1200's the wheel studs should first be tightened to 50Nm (72 for the R1150), then taken to 105 Nm (77.5 ft. lbs.). At least for the R1100 and R1150's I have references for.

Wow, that's extremely bloody tight!

Just to clarify, the figure of 60Nm is for the 1200GS.

Never lend your bike to a good friend if your wheel studs are not bloody tight . The studs can loosen up while he is riding, and, even if he saves his skin and your bike, you will never recover from the shame. I know.

thanks for the feedback everyone, 60 Nm it is
