Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Front axle torque
I just finished replacing the tires and bearings on my bike. Anyone know what the torque on the front fork pinch bolt is supposed to be?

Re: Front axle torque
The axle nut is 65 ftlbs., according to the FSM. If that's' what you mean by pinch bolt.

Re: Front axle torque
What I would think of as a pinchbolt is what keeps the RH end of the axle from spinning as you tighten (or loosen) the axle bolt. It's officially called "the axle clamp bolt" & requires only 10 ft# of torque. It is pictured on page 9-4 & in the suspension chapter - page 12-2 of the Svc Manual.
