I'm in the process of changing my chain and sprockets. I need you guys expertise on these 2 questions.

1. Just installed a q/c carrier. How tight should the sprocket be on the carrier? Right now, I got it on 25 ft-lb. Is this enuff?

2. Does the cush bolts need to be torque down? If so, how much?

Any information is greatly appreciated. TIA.

I think these are the cush nuts ..... 'rear chain sprocket nuts' = 48Nm Grease B

25 ft lbs is probably enough for the carrier bolts. I know they're critical bolts, but I just tightened mine until it felt right. Ducati has M8x1.25 bolts at 25Nm.

The sprocket nuts on my AFAM carrier are supposed to be tightened to 24 Nm, but I'd call the manufacturer of the carrier and ask them directly.

Just in case...

I know I've referred to that page more than a handful of times.

To all,
Thank you so much for the quick reply.
S748 - Save that site on my favs. T.Y.
JK - I got the same kind. I'll use that value.
Mental - cush nuts = cush bolts = 48Nm. T.Y.

Again, Grazie a tutti.
