    I misplaced ALL of my Yamaha manuals. I need to replace the fork seals on my XJ650J. Can someone please post the torque values for the front end?

    Here ya go:

    "handle crown and inner tube" (upper triple tree clamps) 14.5 ft/lb.
    "under bracket and inner tube" (lower triple tree) 14.5 ft/lb
    "Front wheel shaft" (axle nut) 77.4 ft/lb
    "Front wheel axle pinch bolt" (the only one that didn't need translating) 14.5 ft/lb

    And you might need "handle crown and handle holder" (oh, fer chrissakes handlebar clamp already) 14.5 ft/lb.

    The factory book is a hoot if you think about it.

    PM me with your email address and I can scan you the pages that apply to fork seals. (Unless you've done it a few times and don't need them.)

    (I could probably make copies at work and drop them by. But we gots technology.)
