The following tables list the tightening torque for the major fasteners requiring use of a non-permanent locking agent or silicone sealant etc.
Letters used in the “Remarks” column mean: AL: Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque.
G: Apply grease.
L: Apply a non-permanent locking agent.
Lh: Left-hand Threads
MO: Apply molybdenum disulfide oil solution.
(mixture of the engine oil and molybdenum disulfide grease in a weight ratio 10:1)
R: Replacement Parts
S: Follow the specified tightening sequence.
Si: Apply silicone grease (ex. PBC grease).
SS: Apply silicone sealant.
The table below, relating tightening torque to thread diameter, lists the basic torque for the bolts and nuts. Use this table for only the bolts and nuts which do not require a specific torque value. All of the values are for use with dry solvent-cleaned threads.

Special Tools
Evaporative Emission Control System Inspection (CAL and SEA-B1 Models)
Inspect the canister as follows.
Remove the upper fairing assembly (see Upper Fairing
Assembly Removal in the Frame chapter).
Remove the canister [A].
Visually inspect the canister for cracks or other damage.
If the canister has any cracks or bad damage, replace it
with a new one.

Crankshaft Main Bearing
Insert/Journal Wear Inspection
Split the crankcase (see Crankcase Splitting).
Cut strips of plastigage to journal width.
Place a strip on each journal parallel to the crankshaft
installed in the correct position.
Tighten the crankcase bolts to the specified torque (see
Crankcase Assembly).
NOTE
Do not turn ...
Fuse Inspection
Remove the fuse.
Inspect the fuse element.
If it is blown out, replace the fuse. Before replacing a
blown fuse, always check the amperage in the affected
circuit. If the amperage is equal to or greater than the
fuse rating, check the wiring and related components for
a short circuit.
