Hello again ,

Im still picking at the bike here , and just finished painting the down tubes. I'd like to know the torque specs for the front wheel? There is one 7/8 Nut on one side where the pin goes through , and two 9/16 nuts on the opposite side. Should i use locktight?

'79 xs400

right on , thanks.

72 ft lb for the big nut (no not you!)

for the 13mm nut clamp;

make sure the arrow under the clamp is facing forward, they are slightly sloped because you tighten the front one up first to 11 -18 lbsft then the rear which there should be a gap left. This acts like a spring keeping the axle and nut in place.

I use aero nuts on mine but not really necessary
