Starter Clutch Failure

[Pat Conlon]

Does anyone have a GYSM that shows the torque for all of the engine mount bolts and the lower frame rails?
Fred

GAT or RFT...

Randy - RPM

What is GAT or RFT??

Good And Tight....or.......Real Fucking Tight

[Bill_Rockoff]

Pat beat me to it by half an hour....

I've also seen "grey-tight" and "black-tight" (you tighten it until your vision greys out, or goes completely black.)

I've also seen someone tighten something to 88 ft-lbs by grunting "eighty-EIGHT."

First ride with the rebuilt engine. Got almost 12 miles.... Stopped at the Kansas Masonic Home for a photo op. I have to do an engine Break-in as if it was a brand new engine. Keeping the RPM's below 5000 is mentally difficult. I want to hear it sing.

Fred

Ummmm, why?

You installed new pistons rings and bearings. The bearing require zero break in and the rings will seat under normal riding.

I would not be running redline, but normal riding is what you need to do.

No, the original pistons were used with new rings installed.
