I want to install a new chrome primary cover on my 06 Dyna Super Glide. Can anyone tell me to what torque the bolts should be tightened? I have not bought a service manual yet.

 

I don't have the manual in front of me but I think it was 10ft/lbs, use a new gasket of course.

 

tighten till spins freely. lol

 

The drain plug 30-60 inch-lbs the clutch cover 84-108 inch-lbs the primary cover has a screw tightening sequence the screw on top at 12:00 is #1 the screw at 8:00 is #2 the screw at 2:00 is #3 the screw at 10:00 is #4 and the screw at 5:00 is #5

Do get the service manual it really helps.

 

O.K. Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. I think I will get the service manual too and soon.
Hey AcidRayn, I have too often done what you suggest (tighten until it spins freely) lol.

 

be sure to use # 27 torx bit, not # 25 ! Cheap sets of bits don't include the #27, but the #25 will strip out the heads of the screws.

 

HEY carver, yea, thats an old joke between me and my best friend.
we been riding together over 20 yrs, dirt, street, snow, ice, whatever
he had this bultaco dirt bike, and i had a penton at the time,
im into tools, and the right tools.
he sits down to work on his bikes, first tool out is a hammer!
he would be working on his bultaco, and id say "hey, want the torque wrench"
he's like "nah, i just make um "very" tight"
then bam, strips the case or something. this happened very often
so, i started sayin, "hey bill, you know the torque on that 8 mm bolt is not "tighten till spins freely"

what a tool he is. lol

 

primary cover is 84-108 in.-lbs., same as clutch inspection cover. The tightening sequence is on page 6-26 of the 05 touring service manual. probably the same for your bike but you need to pop the $50 and get a manual for your Dyna to be sure. there are 10 allen head socket screws holding on the primary cover, 5 long, 5 short.
don't forget a new primary chaincase gasket.
