Valentinik:
I started rebuilding the forks today. Got the new seals installed and everything In place but have A question.

What torque should the 8mm Allen head oil lock bolt at the bottom of the fork be tightened to? And should thread lock be used on it?

I did take a look in the factory manual but the bolt descriptions weren't clear to me.

Thanks

Mike

Bryanj:
Just do it up tight is enough and only use threadlock if you want it to be a swine to change seals again BUT do make sure the copper washer is in good nick

Valentinik:
Thanks Bryan, I will get some new washers fitted before they are installed.

Valentinik:
Spent some time over the weekend, getting the forks on and the partially built up engine I'm the frame. I can get on with finishing the engine build off now.

Valentinik:
A question, I have a new gasket for the clutch cover, do I need to put and hylomar on this gasket or should it be fitted dry?

Thanks
Mike
