Motorcycle fastener torque reference
Torque ranges for motorcycle fasteners by thread size (M5-M16, into steel and into aluminium) plus the fasteners involved in each of the eight most common repair jobs.
38 rows · 7 fields
Method: Thread-size rows are standard dry torque values for property-class 8.8 steel fasteners, reduced where the bolt threads into an aluminium casting. Job rows are the ranges published across mainstream motorcycle service data for that fastener class. These are general engineering ranges, not factory figures for a specific model: always confirm against the service manual for the exact bike and year. Supports ?job=<slug>.
Fields: scope, key, fastener, tool_size, torque_steel_nm, torque_alloy_nm, note
