2012 KTM 300xc front brake rotor/disc torque value?

[JKnight]

Does anyone know the proper torque value for when installing a new brake disc onto the front wheel? I will continue to look through my manual, trying to understand what the manual may actually call this part/bolt as it pertains to torque values. Would 14 NM sound right? Any insight would be great. Thanks. J

Proper install is "pretty tight" with lots of locktite. I would suggest more than 14nm.

Thanks Scott, the new bolts for the disc look like they have yellow lock tite on them already, should I add a bit of blue too? Can you mix them? Is there a maximum torque that you think I should not exceed before getting to "pretty tight" LOL. Hope your summer is going great!

KTM"s spec is 14 NM for the rotor bolts, but like Scott, I would have guessed higher as 14 NM isn't alot but I guess it is only an M6 size bolt. Probably would not hurt to add a little more 242 blue Loctitie.

Thanks all, I will give it a go and will add a bit of more blue locktite as well, just as extra precaution. Appreciate it.

what spec do you use on the drainbolt?

LOL Now or before? Before, apparently not enough. Now, I just let my mechanic do it. You should try him. Shop is out in Langdon, but his prices are really good.

...his prices are really good.

But the important question is, Dilly Bars or Dollars?!?!

I know his mechanic. I am pretty sure he works for food too....
