I tried to look in the manual on bikecliff's site, but I can not get it to open. I need the torque value on the single large nut that secures the clutch basket.
 
Thanks. I realized, however, that I don't have a socket that size so I tightened it by hand.
 
By hand is fine until you take out your clutch, oil pump and shifter drum.
:p
 
I have lots of 1100 engine & clutch parts. Call me when you find out what all parts you need after it lets go. Ray.
 
I felt it would be okay because the nut also has the washer that bends up to lock it in place.
 
They all have that, even the ones that come loose, which is a lot of them.
There's a reason people buy the super duper expensive nuts that don't come off.
 
Ok. So I gather from your responses that I need to go buy a socket and go back in and torque it 36-50 lbs.? I want to do this correctly and I appreciate everyone's input.
 
Sorry bud
We are easily amused.
tkent is right
It is a good idea.
I'd get an APE heavy duty clutch hub nut, a 1/2" electric impact from harbor freight and a 32mm impact socket.

This thread made me laugh...I've done a Clutch Basket removal and have a torque wrench; only needed to buy the 32mm socket.

Do the job right for your safety...and so people here don't respond the way they do with your actions.

A 1 1/4 inch socket works too & is easier to find. Ray.
