What is the torque for the front axle on the inverted front forks . Too lazy to look it up and don't remember .

Thanks Jack

What size axle? 3/4 or 1 ".

3/4" Gerry, I've removed and replaced my axle several times and thought it was 50 lbs but just thought I'd check to be sure .

Just an FYI, you and Puff were correct at 50 lbs for the 3/4" axle. The 1" axle is 55 lbs per the factory.

Just keep going until you strip a thread then back it off 1/4 turn. Been good for me for 50 years

Been wrenching all my life and I just don't work that way especially where there's an axle and bearings involved .

Yes, it was a bit of light humour.

I see this was a few weeks ago, but for the sake of others who might need this, don't forget to set the pinch bolt, afterward.
