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.

    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.
