I'm about to replace my subframe with a new one (I wrecked my clean 04 R6earlier this month). I want to know if I need to apply a certain amount of torque to the torx bolts when I put in the new subframe. I plan on re-using the old bolts with some blue loctite.

Also, do i need to know any torque #'s for when I replace my left handlebar?

subframe 34 ft lbs

handle bar front fork 24 ft lbs
handle bar and upper triple 9.4 ft lbs
under triple pinch bolt 17 ft lbs

they have all torque specs in the service manual, u can download a pdf of one on the link below. its doesnt list a service manual for 04's but 03 is the same

cool, thanks.
Just how necessary is the proper torque in this case? Essential? or should I just slam em down and loctite?
Cashmoney I read in another post that you replaced your subframe. Did you use a torque wrench?

no i never did use torque wrench on them. i just cranked them good and tight while holding the back nut with 14mm wrench. loctite of course too
