Title: motor mount numbers and vibration????
Post by lnewlf on 07/06/14 at 11:09:13

I want to say great site for the bike. The info on here has help my transformation with my $600 purchase. I have ran into a problem with excessive vibration between 62-70mph or 4200-5000rpm. Checked all motor mounts. But I am confused which torque on each. For example the top 2 are frame and one is motor. Thru mounts front controls at 64.9 ft/lbs seems real tight. Could someone post a picture and label the torque for each? I know this is asking alot but it would help everyone. Also i did check torque list post it just made me scratch my head even more. :-/ :-/

YOU checked the pegs? They go through the motor.

Yes. I called them the forward controls at 64.9 ft/lbs.

Well,the top mounts are visible so I'm sure you got that... I'm sorry,I don't know what else to do. Just hang out, someone will have something to add.

This is the way I interpret it.

ITEM N-m | ft-lb
These are on top of the head - all 3
Engine mounting No. 1 bolts and nuts 37.0 45.0 | 27.3 33.2

Footpegs
Engine mounting No. 2 bolt 70.0 88.0 | 51.6 64.9

thru frame
Engine mounting No. 3 bolts and nuts 70.0 88.0 | 51.6 64.9

rear engine plate
Engine mounting No. 4 bolt and nut 70.0 88.0 | 51.6 64.9

frame to rear engine plate
Engine mounting No. 5 Allen 20.0 30.0 | 14.7 22.1

Basically, the smaller ones get 30 ft-lbs, the bigger get 60 ft-lbs, and the allens get 20 fl-lbs.

Oh. I did 64.9 on the top bolts and broke one then replaced and retorqued. Do you think this might add to the vibration issue since it is too tight? The top mount bolt that attaches the head was torqued probably around 50ft/lbs I was affraid ti break another and not to mention the aluminum casting. What do you think is the best option for me? Retorque the mounts all around?

leave it, damage done, it may break next time or not ever.
too tight will be better for vibration.
