Anyone have the torque spec for the muffler bolt?

HyperstradaHopeful · Nov 27, 2014

I just replaced the muffler on my Hyperstrada and was tightening down the clamp bolt that connects the muffler to the mid pipe and was wondering if anyone knows the torque spec. I don't want to snap that bolt so I just tightened it down medium strength right now and was wondering if anyone could give me the torque spec before I crank it down any more.

Thanks!

Refitting the silencer

Refitting the silencer

If previously removed, secure the heat guard by securing screws (4) to the specified torque of 8 Nm Â± 10%.

Before fitting the silencer, check the seal integrity.

If it is worn or damaged, replace it with a new one.

Upon fitting make sure that the two edges of the seal are centred on the welding, as shown in the figure.

Fit the silencer in the exhaust and tighten screw (2) to the specified torque of 22 Nm Â± 10%.

Tighten clamp (1) to the specified torque of 25 Nm Â± 10%.

This is an extract from a workshop manual. I hope this helps....

Awesome! Thanks so much! But what does the "Â± 10%" mean? Is that plus or minus 10% so you can torque to 25 Nm or 10% more or 10% less than that and it's fine?

The plus and minus is just a tolerance guide so set wrench at 25NM. I guess this would cover any wrench that was not 100% accurate.....
