Hi folks, can anyone tell me the torque setting for the bolts beneath the plastic bungs on either side of the bike frame please?

Torque setting

Just checked the service manual. It should be 40Nm.

Torque settings

I have checked the instructions for exchanging the frame. Please see the following torque settings to give you better picture. I believe, the M10 screw was the one you asked about.


Tightening torques
Frame, bottom, to engine
M10 x 40 38 Nm

Frame, rear left, to cylinder head
M10 x 40 40 Nm

Frame, front, to cylinder head
M12 x 50 66 Nm

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that.

I found something online that suggested they were 19Nm!!!?

They are the right side M10 x 65; left side M10 x 40 - T50 Torx bolts, frame to engine.

Torques

I am not really an expert on the torque settings, but these are the values, I found. 19Nm seems not that much for such a big bolt.

One thing to check might be the standard torque settings for certain type of screws. In most case, I have noticed, that even the BMW torque settings are roughly similar to the type of screw being used.

I had an issue come time ago, mounting a Wunderlich engine bars on my bike. The company send a screws that were to short and when I tightened them to the specific torque, in one case, it snapped the thread.

Thanks for your help.

You're right, after further investigation, 40Nm appears to be right torque.

Cheers!
