GSXR1100M Torque settings for side plugs.

[RojoMojo]

Hi, i am going to fit some crash bungs to my 1991 1100M motor and will be bolting them on using the the 4 side plug fittings but i cannot see a torque value in my manual for these, it does show a value for the 1100K motors but these are different to 1100M motors but wonder if the torque value is the same? For the 1100K  my manual says 25-30N-m or 18-21.5 ib-ft.  Can anyone if this applies to the 1100M as well? 

Cheers

Yes - they'd be the same. Your choice but why bolt a crash bung to part of the engine that is fairly easily damaged! Rip one of those puppies out and its a new head! Crash bars on chassis far safer idea IMO!

Cheers...Yep i know there is a risk with this, but i a have built a Cafe Racer using a Hard Up Choppers frame and a lot of 1100M running gear and these will bolt straight one, but i am also thinking i should probably try and fit something to front engine mounts on the frame as well ...

Ya I'm with Gixer1460 on this one. I've pondered on this idea in the past. Sliders wouldn't be a bad idea but anything that would put leverage on that area wouldn't be a good. The OEM fairing mounts that are located there are rubber mounted for a reason.

I have a set of Fastec Crash bungs that they do for 1200 Blandit's, seems to be a lot of that style about.  I am limited on points to bolt anything else on apart from front and / or rear engine mounts on the frame but will see if can get some nylon or such like bungs and try and make something fit as well.
