Torquing Pressure Plate Clutch Bolts?


Recommended Posts

I checked my clutch out the other day and it's shot. Anyhow don't have the cash right now so I'll have to ride it as it is. I am torquing the pressure plate bolts back up. It says 1.2 kgs torque setting and my torque wrench I just prurcahsed today says only 1.4 as the lowest. ?

I have set it to the lowest setting being 1.4 kgs and tried tightening it. It seems to have gotten tight but no click sound yet from the torque wrench. I know it's tight since I work on motorcycles everyday and have the feel for tightness, but I'm afriad if I go tot he 1.4 kgs it will snap a bolt. I'm sure it's tight but just not torqued to 1.4 kgs.

What would you do? ?

thats about 2.6 foot pounds of torque thats literally nothing..What i would do is get them tight then just give them a little jerk tight and then it should be ok...cause 2.6 foot pounds is so small that you could snap those bolts really easily
