Does anybody know what the torque value for the rear axial for a 07 softail?

Thanks ahead of time

 

My 06 is 60 to 65 ft lbs.

 

the manual for my 07 also states 60-65 lbs

 

The Rocker is 90-105, because they make so much more power than all the other softies.

 

Because of some varibles I would try 60-65 ft lbs and then maybe back off a little.

 

might have something to do with that heavy, power robbing, fat *** rear tire. :-) . but they do look cool.

 

Wow you may need wheel bearings in a few thousand miles.

 

Well, I have 14k so far...no signs of failure yet. Actually, the softail manual recommends that torque spec for the Rocker. I have no idea why it needs another 30ft/lbs. Heavier wheel and tire creating more rotational weight perhaps?

 

i like your 1st answer best ru

 

Funny you should mention the Wheel Bearings.....
When I upgraded to my 250 rear and had the Wheel rebalanced, both the bearings were SEIZED, complete failure at 3400 miles!! Added $150 to my otherwise inexpensive 250 Elite3! When I reinstalled the tire I brought my torque setting to 95ft/lbs and settled there.
