Reattaching the rear frame

[tiktok]

Hi, is there a specific sequence for fastening the bolts that mount the rear frame to the engine/transmission?

I have the torque settings, but the Workshop manual does not give a process.

I want to avoid putting undue stress on the frame by tightening in the wrong sequence.

I was thinking of working front to back and gradually tightening everything, but I would rather 'do it right'.

Thanks

I don't think there is a particular sequence. Just get all the bolts located and in finger tight first and make sure not to cross thread, especially those into the gearbox. They can be an arse to line up. Then do them all up tight. If the frame has been off then just make sure you've routed the cables and fuel lines etc properly before you commit to doing everything up.

Sometimes the left-frame bolts line up better with the bike on its kickstand.
