F3T front wheel lug nuts

[Buckskin]

Today I went to remove the front wheels on my new F3T and found the first lug nut to be really tight. Had to get a breaker bar and a cheater pipe to break it loose. Went to the next lug nut and it almost spun off hand tightened. Next was the same??
I can't imagine one lug being correct torque and the other two being less than ten ft lbs. Will let you know what I find on the other side later.

Well, I can tell you the lug nuts were very tight! In re-installing the wheels, I looked up here on the board and Google (not much there) and find everyone says 77 ft lbs torque. So I set the torque wrench and start working the nuts down. The feel of applying the torque til it clicked was very little? So comparing that to what the nuts felt like coming off did not compare. Felt like half of what was one there. So for now, they are torqued to 77 ft lbs, til somebody tells me different.

On our 2016 F3L the lug nuts were 150ftlbs!

Now that feels more like it. But.......in searching this site the few mention of torque all say 77 ft lbs give or take a few. That's no where near 150 ft lbs. One is either too little or one is way too much. Either way something is amiss here. I don't want to pull 150 ft lbs and start stretching the threads and weaken the lug studs.

That's how tight they were from the dealer. Supposed to be 77.

2016 RT-S if it helps at all. 77 is in the ball park for mine.

That's why I hate to take a bike to the Dealer. I do my own work if at all possible. Looks like they applied the rear torque to the front. That can stretch the lug studs and at twice the torque a failure may result.
