nhchris Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hey gang, I'd like your opinions about an email exchange I am having with R&G about their engine covers. I asked them about reports I'd read of their replacement bolts stripping / breaking during cover install. Here is the email response I got: Hi Chris, This is not an issue as our bolts are made of a softer metal and they don’t need to me tightened to the manufacturers specs. Kind Regards,Liam GormleyOperations 01420 89007Racing Technique Ltd t/a R&GUnit 1, Shelleys LaneEast WorldhamAlton, HampshireGU34 3AQ So he is saying no need to torque new engine cover bolts too Yamaha spec when installing R&G covers. The result is then uneven torque on the piece under the cover. Does this sound a bit strange to you folks?? 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
