• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Third peg frame bolt torque?

So I picked up a third peg.

Wondering what is the correct torque for that bolt?

Thinking 8mm - about 22 Nm? - 195 in lbs maybe. :dontknow:

Cheers Haze.

Found YFS 12.9 on the cap screw head.

That chart suggests up to 40 nm.

But is that correct for the application there?

Looked lots of places but cant find the info.

19 Nm / 168 in lbs. :thumbup:

Yep. Seems to be the norm, even in the videos from the experts?


I like to torque them thanks. Nuts eh?

19 Nm/168 in lbs. will do just fine.

Yup you sure do. Up there for thinking. :thumbup:

Sooo...

Got 7 jobs for the F3 today.
....
I had a few things delivered yesterday.....some goodies...... .;)
.....
Check the tyre pressures.
Fit the third pegs.
Fit the mirror lock bolts.
Fit the PedalBox. :ohyea:
Fill the tank.
Go for a spin. Should be interesting. :D Give it a crack as they say.
Return home safely without needing a new change of underwear and open a cold bottle of substitute brake fluid and reflect on the day.

Pretty sure if I dont do them in that order one of the earlier mentioned jobs simply wont get done. nojoke
 
The install went ok. I had to clean out the threads from that yellow stuff. Then lift the arm a bit to re-install the bolt for the hanger. Took a photo where you may make out the mark inside where is should be. I will have to take a snap of the finished job and add to this post tomorrow.

Yeah I guess it possible I may confuse some.

If you care to view the photo above your post - zappoh! I seem to have matched the right peg holders.

The post and photo you refer to is in fact a question about the bolt and the correct torque.

I did not want to strip that with over-torquing the bolt - hence the question..

The bolts appeared to be identical in size, thread and length.

And if you want to get super Anal about the photo and the captions.

Its in fact correct........

"I picked up a third peg.... correct.
 
Just finished my installation of Lamont's 3rd Peg set up.Surprised at the big difference they made in getting both on and off. A definite improvement. :2thumbs:

Another comment on just how professional the entire transaction is in dealing with Lamonster Garage. A true class operation, thanks.
