Torque Specifications

I got one a while back and actually surprised myself at how much I had been over-tightening EVERYTHING.

I'm sure I do this too. I mean, if a bit tight is good, more tight must be bettererer, right? I think that's how it works.....

I was over torquing things, I put it down to my massive guns

Well, they're not for show! Oh wait.....

Not 100% for the new one but one of the classic over tightening things on Ducati's one is the front axle pinch bolts ... ovals the axle ....

I'm pretty good with pinch bolts now, after I rounded off a bunch on the old gixxers. Took me a couple of failures to learn my lesson!

And yes, people still overtighten them. The hint for pinch bolts is all in the name.... I mean, they aren't called tight-as-fuck bolts, are they?!?
