Just to elaborate on daveyson's explanation—because I have expended considerable effort spacing commas correctly—sometimes submission to authority is the way to go. Stick with torque values for simplicity.bmwk100rs wrote:Everywhere, the initial torque recommended is 140 N-m, but is the final one 60 N-m or 90 N-m?
Here's the torque table from the Clutch chapter of BMW's K75/100 2V service manual onsite. What this means is after the initial tightening and release, you have a dizzying array of Newton meter choices—90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, or 114. If you have a lucky number among that array, now's the time to use it. Anything below 90—including 60—is not part of the fun.
I hope I understand what you're after; I seem to be encountering comprehension obstacles tonight.
