Handlebar Clamp Bolt

Post by Marty2 »

Can anyone with a Service Manual give me the torque BMW recommends for the handlebar clamp bolt???? I have a Haynes manual ordered but it won't be here til Tues. I need to mount something this WE. I promise to return the favor after my manual arrives.
Thanks in advance.

Here's what I pulled up here: http://mdmetric.com/fastindx/t29u.pdf
Preload Fv and tightening torque Ma for screws and nuts with bearing surfaces according to
ISO 4762/4014, 4017, resp. 4032/DIN 912, 931, 933 resp. 934
m tot. = 0,20 (m thr = 0,25, m hd = 0,16)
