Does anyone know the torque specs for the Frame and Clutch Slider bolts? I have a torque wrench that I use for my M3 wheels, and want to make sure the bolts on the R1 are torqued to spec.

The instructions for my GYT-R frame sliders said to torque the bolts to 28.8 ft-lbs.

Is that for both the Frame and Clutch bolts?

If your frame sliders use the upper engine mounting hole, tighten to factory spec for front engine mounting bolt. (33ft. lb) Most clutch sliders require you to remove the stock swingarm pivot nut and replace it with the one that comes with the slider. Torque this nut to factory spec. (76ft. lbs.) Then tighten the slider bolt to 12-14 ft. lbs. Use blue Locktite on all the threads.

That was for the frame sliders only.

Another question on this topic...Do you use the washer when replacing the stock swingarm pivot nut with the slider nut?

TIA

Yes, you will use the stock washer.
