Clutch basket nuts.....how tight? was created by verybadmonkey
Hello everyone. I have a simple question cause the clymers manual has me all confused. How tight do you tighten the clutch basket screws? The ones with a spring behind them. The book says "tight", but what does that mean? Finger tight, as tight as I can with a handle driver, or ratchet tight.

One more reason to buy a Kawasaki Factory Service Manual instead of Clymers. What model bike??

The Clymer manual for the 650s says 6-8 ft.lb/8-11 Nm, that should work for the 750s too. Best to tighten them in a criss-cross pattern little by little so the lifter plate moves in evenly.

Looking at my 750 factory manual, it says to cross tighten the bolts evenly to 78 in-lbs
