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.

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.

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

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