Should the Front Wheel Bolts of a Motorcycle Be Tightened?
1 Answers
Motorcycle front wheel bolts need to be tightened. Why tighten them: If the tire bolts are not tightened, there is a possibility they may come loose. Generally, the appropriate tightness for tire bolts is around 100-120 Newton meters of torque. Precautions when tightening bolts: When replacing them at a regular shop or doing it yourself without a torque wrench, simply use the original vehicle tools to hand-tighten them as much as possible. Never use your foot or body weight to apply additional force. Over-tightening the tire bolts can easily damage them and make future removal difficult. The bolts only need to be tightened sufficiently, not overly tight.
