Please note that these specs are from the 2004 Service Manual. I believe all measures apply to the 2006, but I take no responsibility for that. Use at your own risk

Rear Axle Nut: 109 ft/lb
Front Sprocket (Drive Sprocket) Nut: 61 ft/lb (make sure to use a lock washer)
Rear Sprocket Nuts: 72 ft/lb
Front Axle Shaft/Bolt: 66 ft/lb
Front Axle Pinch Bolts: 14 ft/lb
Front Brake Calipers: 25 ft/lb

 

I'm sure the specs are the same except for the rear axle nut. I believe the 2006 is slightly different than the 04-05 and 07-08. I'm sure I'll be fine but I've heard of specs from 70-108 and now 109 ft/lb.

Thanks for the help!

I didn't have a lock washer on the front sprocket (still factory OEM), it just had a flat washer with the tabs bent up.

 

Think I'll go with the 2004 torque specs... My bike can't wait much longer.

 

I've used all the specs from an 05 manual on my 06 without an issue

 

I wouldn't go 72 ftlbs on the rear sprocket nuts though. Alot of people have stripped them at that setting. I have driven nuts and they recommend 30 ft lbs

 

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. Sill haven't done the rear axle nut because I'm having issues with the metal chain guide bracket that sits in front of the front sprocket. It's not ligning up to all 3 holes. This shouldn't be complicated and I want to make sure I put it back correctly. See picture..VVV

The hole at the top doesn't even come close to ligning up to the threaded hole. I didn't bend the bracket... this is strange.

 

it looks like it should be in the right position. had to use a shorter bolt on mine

 

Wow! That front sprocket looks huge! Factory should be 17T...that looks like 20+. You going for top end?

 

after looking at the pic it almost looks like its bent compared to mine. i circled the area in red

 

I tryed bending it and got the holes to lign up better. Getting the cover on sucks but I was able to get all the bolts in place (the top longer bolt that goes through the bracket might be cross threaded because it was tight the whole way through, but it's holding the cover on tight and the threads arn't completely stripped).

I went with 35 ft/lb on the rear sprocket, 61 ft/lb on the front sprocket, and 80 ft/lb on the rear axle nut.

 

vortex 17T :lol

 

I guess it looks way bigger compared to mine...











:secret: I wanted the 16T (-1) for the front but I was sent a 15T and decided to just go with it. My rear sprocket is +1 so we'll see how crazy the torque is compared to stock. :shake

 

Here's a link so you can download the manual, all the torque specs are in there :thumbup

The rear sprocket torque numbers are definitely wrong, should be 28-30 ft/lbs

Your rear axle nut needs to be upped to, should be 109 ft/lbs if I remember correctly but they will all be in there.

Thanks for the link.. Do you have one for 2006?

 

Same manual, only different one is for the LE :thumbup
