torque specs for top end?

**ripley123** · 09-09-2007, 04:03 PM

just ordered a new cylinder & piston/rings & gaskets for my bike today

anyone know the RS50's torque specifications for the 4 top end bolts (or a free online manual where i can find them)?.... and also is there a torque spec for the temperature sensor screw and the fuel screw (or just screw em in till there tight)?... thanks

I never needed a Haynes manual, workshop manuals are much better (do a search on the forum for them).
But tbh the RS50 is simple enough just to use common sense.

Engine
Bike

nope usualy its ft-lb on bigger engines like cars... but id think small engines like the rs50 theyed have it in in-lb cause i'll probaly have a hell of a time fitting a big ft-lb torque wrench into the rs's engine compartmet... i'll make it work though

**ripley123** · 09-09-2007, 04:17 PM

ok cool just saw the other link... i'll figure it out from there.. thanks
