Hey guys I just slid in my new bumpstick along the SHBOX how to and I got to torquing the cam retainer torx boltsand I noticed it says totorque to 105 lb/ft on the SHBOX site. Is this right? I feel like I'm going to break these things if I torque them that much. They weren't near that tight when I took them out. Is it supposed to be 15?

 

Its 105 lb/in.

About 9 lb/ft.

 

Nooooo those things barely take any Tq!! It's 105 lb/*IN*.

I've snapped the head off of one before, they are soft!

 

Ok that's what I thought. I waited until I heard from somebody on here before I tightened em. You guys are awesome. Thanks. Just realized I completely read his list wrong. I'm such a dumbass!!

 

lol it happens to the best of us. Ive craked parts on my bike for over torquing bolts.

 

I always loctite these screws too as well as the cam sprocket bolts.

 

good idea wrd.

 

Yea bump stick's in. Just need to get the heads on and everything else put back together now.

 

My guide says INCH LBS and to use threadlocker. If you are going to follow a guide you should be careful to actually follow it.

 

I'm sorry to have misread your guide and mistakingly thinking you were wrong. I'll do my best to not let it happen again.
