    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What should the torque be on the starter clutch bolt? I thought the manual said 11 ft-lb. My bolt keeps coming loose. I read on another thread that I need to try some permatex 20297 because the clearance is too big.
 
Your talking about the three allen head bolts or the rotor bolt into the crank?
 
the three bolts 11-14 ft lbs
THe big hub nut 36-50 ft lbs -- I would go 50 ft lbs
at least for the 850
 
Red loctite bro. It will just keep coming undone from what ive read if you dont. I have to replace my starter clutch soon..curious as to how to get the damn rotor off... thats going to be a chore, i can just feel it.
 
They can go up to 123ft lbs on the GSX1100's. (GSX1100EZ)

GS1000E 65-72.5 Ft lbs

Suzuki mad
 
I'm not sure what the '81 750 torque amount is but I doubt 50 ft/lb is enough.
At least 70 in my opinion. Red thread sealant is a must, after very thorough thread cleaning.
 
I don't even torque them. I have a Snap On 1/2 inch drive air impact & I just drive them on. Never had one come loose that way. Ray.
