Not sure why 10 ft-lbs stripped those holes so bad unless your torque wrench is out of spec. The shop manual says 12nm (9 ft-lbs). Update: just upgraded my clutch, and I used a torque wrench set to 9 ft-lbs. It wasn't even as tight as I can easily do with one hand on a 1/4 in ratchet.
I do not know why either. I checked my torque wrenches and they seemed accurate. That said, they are cheapo torque wrenches. I have no idea what happened with this unless that clutch basket had been over torqued previously. It was a used engine and the clutch was slipped really bad. Maybe the previous owner thought tightening it down would help. Do not really know unfortunately.
The torque setting you are referring to is the central bolt not the 5 clutch retaining bolts.
I looked all over and watched a dozen videos and they all showed those bolts torqued that high. Internet can be great but man it screwed me on that.
What year is this bike. Mine is a 2015, and i ordered the upgrades springs and the same plates. Also, that washer, you added do i need to do that?
@@mattstettler6131 the engine was supposed to be from a 2016. The washer was just one I had laying in the spare hardware drawer, I’m sorry I can’t give you any more info on that. Take that actuator into a lowes or something and start hunting for the correct sized one would be my next move.
Every single vehicle I own the first thing I buy is a physical paper service manual.
You will never regret buying a service manual.
I usually do. I haven’t on my grom or the donor though.
