2008 CBR 1000rr seat comes loose after just 2 hour ride. How much torque can i apply to seat screws? The manual specifies 3.2 lbf-ft. I guess that means foot-pounds and if so it seems way to little to keep the seat from coming loose. I want to know if I can really tighten those "special screws" without damaging anything.

For a 1999 Honda CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are essential to ensure proper engine assembly and function. When tightening the cylinder head bolts, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings to prevent damage to the engine components.
For the CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are typically as follows:
1. **Initial Torque:** 29 Nm (2.9 kgf-m, 22 ft-lbs)
2. **Final Torque:** 64 Nm (6.4 kgf-m, 47 ft-lbs)
It's essential to tighten the cylinder head bolts in the specified sequence and in multiple stages, gradually increasing the torque until reaching the final specified torque. The exact tightening sequence can usually be found in the service manual specific to your motorcycle model.
When torquing the head bolts, ensure you're using a reliable torque wrench calibrated in the appropriate units (Nm or ft-lbs). Always follow the tightening sequence precisely to ensure even pressure distribution across the cylinder head gasket.
Additionally, it's advisable to use new cylinder head bolts if the old ones have been previously tightened or stretched beyond their yield point. This helps maintain proper clamping force and ensures the integrity of the engine assembly.
As always, referring to the service manual or consulting a professional mechanic experienced with motorcycle engine assembly can provide additional guidance and ensure the correct torque settings are applied during the cylinder head installation process.

This is year/make/model specific to the 2nd Gen Sienna. Taken from the 05 Toyota Sienna repair manual. Hope this answers your torque specs for the valve covers which uses 10 mm bolts. If in doubt, as Scotty Kilmer asserts, do a "German tight".

Torque wrench capable of 12 N-m or 9 lbf-ft
Torque wrench capable of 103 N-m or 76 lbf-ft
Specified Honda Flywheel Puller or a Flywheel Puller with small arms
Specified Honda Flywheel Holder or a strap wrench
Gasket scraper
Gasket sealant

What you need is a manual, a freebie is available at this site. It will also come in handy when you try to put it back together again :D.

The back corners of the riders seat are soft and can be bent up to expose the screws that hold it to the frame.

Nissan QR 2.5 engine produces a torque of 180 ft·lbf (244 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm .

if your installing your crankshaft the Torque: 27 N·m (275 kgf·cm, 20 ft·lbf). And for your camshaft the 25mm bolts [2] are 7.5 N·m (80 kgf·cm, 69 in.·lbf) and the rest are 16 N·m (160 kgf·cm, 12 ft·lbf)

Hi there!

here are some recommended torque for small nuts and bolts:
Torque Specifications of Small Screws
Screw Size/Torque (in.-lb)

2mm 5-7
2-56 6-8
2.5mm 8-10
4-40 10-12
5-40 11-13
3mm 12-14
6-32 15-17
4mm 18-21
8-32 19-23
5mm 20-24
10-32 22-26

Hope this helps!

1. Set timing belt tensioner.

(a) Using a press, slowly press in the push rod using 100 - 1000 kg (220 - 2,205 lb, 981 - 9,807 N) of pressure. (b) Align the holes of the push rod and housing, pass a 1.27 mm hexagon wrench through the holes to keep the setting position of the push rod. (c) Release the press.

1. Install timing belt tensioner.

(a) Turn the No.1 idler pulley bolt counterclockwise to obtain the specified torque toward the left as far as the No.1 idler pulley will go, and temporarily install the tensioner with the two bolts Torque: 18 N.m (180 kgf.cm, 13 ft.lbf)


NOTICE: To apply the correct torque, apply the torque wrench along the axis through the bolts of the No.1 idler pulley and exhaust camshaft timing pulley.


(b) Slowly turn the crankshaft pulley 5/6 revolution, and align its groove with the ATDC 60° mark of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.





(c) Insert a 1.90 mm (0.075 in.) feeler gauge between the tensioner body and No.1 idler pulley stopper.
(d) Turn the No.1 idler pulley bolt counterclockwise to obtain the specified torque.
Torque: 18 N.m (180 kgf.cm, 13 ft.lbf)
NOTICE: To apply the correct torque, apply the torque wrench along the axis through the bolts of the No.1 idler pulley and exhaust camshaft timing pulley.

(e) While pushing the tensioner, alternately tighten the two bolts. Torque: 21 N.m (210 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf)



(f) Remove the 1.90 mm (0.075 in.) feeler gauge. (g) Remove the 1.27 mm hexagon wrench from the tensioner.


(h) Slowly turn the crankshaft pulley one revolution, and align its groove with theATDC 60° mark of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.




(i) Using a feeler gauge, check the specified clearance between the tensioner body and No.1 idler pulley stopper. If the clearance is not as specified, remove the tensioner and reinstall it.
Clearance: 1.80-2.20 mm (0.071 - 0.087 in.)

1. Check valve timing.

(a) Slowly turn the crankshaft pulley two revolutions from TDC to TDC. NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.




(b) Check that each pulley aligns with the timing marks as shown in the illustration. If the marks do not align, remove the timing belt and reinstall it.
