Torque wrench scale reading:
27 N·m (2.8 kgf·m, 20 Ibf·ft), using a 50 cm
(20 in) long deflecting beam type torque
wrench.
• Lock nut wrench
(4)
When using the lock nut wrench, use a 50 cm (20
in) long deflecting beam type torque wrench.

leverage, so the torque wrench reading will be less
than the torque actually applied to the fork damper.
