Just got some new trackmasters and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some torque specs for the front axle, the 4 10mm retaining bolts, and the rear axle nut. Thanks.

 

The 4 10mm are very lightly torqued - something like 7 or 8 Nm. Go easy on them or they will strip.

The rear axle on the other hand is a tight SOB at around 88 Nm if I remember correctly.

 

Torque the front axle 65ft-lb then you make sure the fork moves freely on the alxe(The lower fork should flex a few mm in and out) and the forks are paralell. If you dont your forks will bind as it progresses in the stroke. Then snug down the top pinch bolts to 78in-lb then the bottom 78in-lb


Rear axle 80ft-lb

 

I just noticed a typo..Deej will jump up and start turning the lights on and off. "Parallel" Anyway here is a litte diagram to show you what I mean about centering the fork legs.

 

Sorry..forgot the file

 

Thanks, good advice on centering up the fork leg.
