Torque for rocker cover (valve cover/cylinder head cover)

(1/4) > >>

chasod1:
Hi All,
I've recently purchased a 2013 motguzzi v7 (stone) - its my first motorbike and I'm loving it! :)

Unfortunately the bike has been dropped and and the RHS rocker cover is quite badly scratched.  I've managed to source a new one, but before removing the scratched one and replacing it, I wanted to confirm what I should torque the bolts to.

I've trawled the internet but can't find the info anywhere.

Any advice on what the torque is or where I could find out would be much appreciated.  Also any adive on where I could source a workshop manual would be great.

Many Thanks in advance
Charlie

Most of those things I do just hand tight.

But when I get up later I'll check to see if I can find a spec in the factory manual.

I use a dab of anti seize and snug them up by hand.  Not too tight.

chasod1:
brilliant thankyou.

I tried loosening them with an allen key and they were very tight and didn't loosen - that is what led me to think "mmmmmmm these are pretty torqued up, I should find out by how so I get it right when I put them back"

But from what you guys have said these should not be that tight.

It'll be interesting to see what the manul says - as I suspect mine may have been over enthusiastically tightened at some point

Thankyou again for your help with this

Charlie

From the engine manual:


--- Quote ---7 Internal Head cover screws M6x25 4 8-10 Nm (5.90-7.37 lbft)
8 Outer head cover screws M6x52.5 8 8-10 Nm (5.90-7.37 lbft)

--- End quote ---

So 71-88 inch lbs. / 5.90-7.37 ft. lbs. (8-10 Nm).

Or, like we said, hand tight.
