Hey all

Not sure what these are called in the manual, but the two large bolts clamping the front brake parts together - what are the torque specs for those?

deltarider:
3,4 - 4 kg-m (24,6 - 28,9 lbs-ft) according to p.2 the official Shop Manual Honda CB500-550.

Bryanj:
Never used one just BT

Or if from Yorkshire FT, and that’s not finger tight

The official Shop Manual Honda CB500-550 is found in Aladdin's Cave in a good resolution.
There is one torque spec there that still puzzles me today.
It's about #22: the front wheel axle nut. Early 80s I did torque that nut @ the recommended 5,5 - 6,5 kg-m (39,5 - 47 lbs-ft), only to find out the wheel wouldn't turn anymore. I loosened the nut up again and all was fine.
