I culled these torque settings from the 2012 Hayne’s Service & Repair Manual. What I’m posting applies ONLY to a late model Triumph Bonneville T100 (EFI).
I created this page as an easy way to pull up this data on my smart phone when I’m outside working on the bike. I hope you find it useful also.

A good, fairly inexpensive 3/8″ torque wrench to use if you’re looking for one.

My recommendation of a good 3/8″ torque wrench, available on Amazon with Prime free shipping:
Used this info today to install RaceTech fork springs and adjustable fork caps.
Thanks Rudy.

Rich. This puts a huge smile on my face. I posted this exactly for that reason. So tell us… how are you liking the RaceTechs? Rudy
Haven’t
even
ridden
it.
🙁
Life and work just get in the way so once all the goodies were installed, I check the sag (30mm – was at 52mm) and parked it. I’m hoping to go for a short put this weekend.
