Torque values will change depending on the workload of the pieces being held together, the material composition of the relevant pieces, not just the diameter of the bolt. Suspension and engine mounting bolts do not actually move, and the engine bolts are quite often screwed into alloy castings. The sprocket bolts are screwed into steel inserts mounted inside rubber bushes, and the whole lot spin round with the wheel so there are centrifugal forces to contend with. But don't forget that the sprocket is actually secured by a damn great circlip to the hub, on a nice new bike with no corrosion (ha ha), when the circlip is removed, the sprocket lifts of complete with the rubber bushes attached. Centrifugal forces are quite something to contend with, until the onset of modern hi-tec wheel fixings, I have encountered many large commercial wheels where the front left hand wheel nuts had a left hand thread to combat self-loosening.
Not just the front one, when comercials had taper seat wheel nuts all lh ones were lh thread, now they have spigot mounted wheels with integtal washer flat nuts and all are normal threadYou want to see the size of the torque wrench for those!!
Matt, I guess that's what they call model improvement, learning from past experience, etc.
Oh Yeah! 460ft/lbs if I remember correctly...
