Engine frame bolt torque is 51 ft lb. I believe. I'm at work now.

If you know of other torque settings post in this thread.

I'm hoping to buy tech/service manuals when they are available---or whenever someone uploads them for free but to answer your Q---no.
I didn't even know frame sliders were available yet, but I did buy the graves fender eliminator and am having a custom seat made. I saw you posting in another thread about maintenance and I'm with you on doing everything on my own. I did everything but suspension/brake work on my previous bikes, but that's just because I don't have the space to do such work.

Did you already do your 600 mile service?

I'm planning to do everything but brake, and valve work. On my last bike I let the dealer do everything but oil changes. This time around I feel like I don't feel compelled to ride every second of my life so I'm making time to work on my bike. I'm still not at 600 yet are you?

I do all my own work, I need to find this out also...Rear axle nut to adjust chain? Most are around 80-90 ft.lbs...

The axle nut tightening torque spec is 137 ft-lbs.

Oil drain bolt 17 ft-lbs

Oil filter cartridge 12 ft-lbs

Coolant drain bolt 7.2 ft-lbs

Just hit 620 miles yesterday... I have all my tools packed up for my move so I may end up having the dealer do first service.

Did anyone ever figure out the torque numbers for the frame slider bolts? Got mine coming in the mail in a day or two

It's so quick and easy. I did mine a few days ago. If you don't know already place tin foil under the oil filter when you remove it.

Sorry to bump an older thread - was searching for torque specs for the rear axle. 137 ft/lbs seems really high - roughly 50% more than any other axle I've worked on [80-90lbs]. I have seen in the past where service manuals were printed incorrectly... I was hoping an experienced mechanic might chime in and confirm it's 137ft/lb for the rear axle?

I'm just worried about trashing threads or destroying bearings. 137 seems really high.

Seems high I know but previous models were 109 and I believe the 15 has larger axles.

Here's a link for the 15 service manual, you'll find them all in there :thumbup

Had to re-align my rear axle as it wasn't straight from the dealer. 137 didn't really feel that bad for the axle.
