Drew500 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 After many, many years abandoned in the back of my garage, I'm getting my old 1996 GS 500 back on the road. So , what I would like to know is, what do I torque my new inlet rubbers to . Being somewhat hamfisted, hand tight is a little vague. I don't want to strip threads, damage inlet or worse still, not tight enough and suck in air. Answers very much appreciated, thank you. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Its almost impossible to 'over' tighten them as the crosshead screws will round out waaaaay before the thread cries enough! German tight is fine! If worried about leakage a thin smear of silicone will ensure a seal. Quote Link to comment
