Default 929 axle nut torque??

I'm getting ready to pull the front and rear wheels off the bike and I need to know what to torque them back down to. Anybody have this info?? I had the service manual but I just got a new computer and it's not on here. I'm having hard drive problems with my old one so I don't know if I can get it to work right. I cannot remember where I downloaded it either.

Someone help me as I would really like to get these tires on this evening and I don't want to screw it up.

German torque spec. Geutentite.

ok, maybe wait for someone that knows.

And here is a good reason to have a hard copy of your service manual.

I thought that was the German female nurse!!

Thanks fasternyou, you have no idea how much I appreciate that and am scared by it at the same time. I'll put it this way......the rear nut couldn't have been more than 20 ft. lbs. tight. Some dumb fucker had to not known what he was doing to leave it that loose when they did the rear tire. I'm just glad that it didn't decide to let loose on that last 140 mph run I made!

I'm taking my wheels to work with me tomorrow and I'll bring home the torque wrench. They will be done right this time around.

No worries man! 20 ft. lb. is plenty of torque for, say, a bar end screw. But an axle nut?

I need to get a torque wrench. I changed the rear tire of the R6 this past weekend and tightened it snug...real snug but didn't put a torque wrench on it.

Just got home and put everything back together. I'm very thankful that you posted all that up as I needed 4 different values from those tables.

Now, it's off to ride her with new rubbers!!

Going the opposite direction is almost as bad.

Had a guy come in to my shop for a tire change on a 750 monster. Put my air gun on it (300 ft. pound rating), and it wouldn't budge. Sprayed some PB Blaster on it (good shit BTW), tried again, tried rocking it back and forth, nothing. Fucking thing was welded on. It took my biggest breaker bar, two guys, and a six foot piece of pipe to break the bastard loose.

The axle was toast, had to get a new one. Torque spec on the thing was like 67 lbs.
