Bob K Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 At around 700 miles on my 2020 tracer I noticed my chain was a little over the spec loose . I learned from my MT 07 to lube the axle thread with some break free before trying to loosen the nut . What is with Yamaha over torquing that nut, it took a 3 ft. pipe on the end of a 1/2 breaker bar to break it loose . I have heard of others that did not lube the threads striping the thread !☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmark101 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I think the factory specification for the rear axle nut according to the service manual is 110 foot pounds......which seems ridiculously tight. Other bikes I have owned were around 75 to 85 foot pounds. When changing tires I torqued the rear axle to 85 foot pounds and called it good. No issues. There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted May 12, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted May 12, 2021 Factory 105. For the last 80k miles I’ve put mine at 85. No problems. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
