    Starter Clutch Bolt Torque

    What should the torque be on the starter clutch bolt? I thought the manual said 11 ft-lb. My bolt keeps coming loose. I read on another thread that I need to try some permatex 20297 because the clearance is too big.

    Your talking about the three allen head bolts or the rotor bolt into the crank?

        Red loctite bro. It will just keep coming undone from what ive read if you dont. I have to replace my starter clutch soon..curious as to how to get the damn rotor off... thats going to be a chore, i can just feel it.

          I was talking about the big Bolt. I'll try 50ft-lb.

              I'm not sure what the '81 750 torque amount is but I doubt 50 ft/lb is enough.
              At least 70 in my opinion. Red thread sealant is a must, after very thorough thread cleaning.
              And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
              Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                I don't even torque them. I have a Snap On 1/2 inch drive air impact & I just drive them on. Never had one come loose that way. Ray.
