Just to let everyone know - I'll be picking up a service manual for the Raider this week when I drop my bike off for its 1st service.

I'll be posting any and all necessary torque specs, etc for the most common mods when possible. I figure it can help us out - so if you're only going to do a few mods - save the 50 bucks on the manual and I'll get you the necessary scans.

I'll also be putting together a "how-to" for pipes, Fi2000R O2 and Air Box mod this week (hopefully) - I decided not to do one for the grips because those are easy so I figured why bother, lol.

I'll post again when I get the book - NJ - I'll make some scans of the important stuff so you can make a sticky on torque specs for stuff like exhaust, wheels, blah blah blah.

Later guys.

GRRRRRRRRRR!

1) They don't have the service manual at the shop or the 2 other closest Yamaha dealers within driving distance of me... *makes sad face*.
2) I'm ordering the book directly from Yamaha online... *makes smiley face*.
3) They said they'd "hopefully" get the bike done by the weekend... *makes indifferent face*.

I have a lot of house-work to do this week so it's no big deal to me... but I'll have to wait until this weekend at the earliest to put my mods on and a few days for that manual to ship *makes sad face again*.

I hate waiting

But I figure that will make everything that much sweeter when I get to toss it together

make a happy face ninja, everyone here likes you! Just picture finished, that should be enough to get you through your house work!

I've got the service manual, so if anybody needs info, I will be happy to help.

Also, there are pdf versions of the RoadLiner/Stratoliner available for download on the www. The Liner manual is mostly accurate, especially dealing with torque specs.

Biggest difference in the manuals that I have found is the wiring diagram.

I was wondering is there is a torque setting for the bolts in the rear fender strut.
I getting my backrest in the next day or so and like to use torque setting when I
can found out working on my sons motorcross bike using the settings make like easier.
I wanted to get a Service manual probably order one here soon. But in the mean time
if there are settings for the strut bolts I would appreciate that.
Thanks

Chuck,

Looks like those bolts are spec'd at 17 ft-lb.

Also, there is a general guide by bolt size. Looks like you would be low if you followed them. Probably only use these if they do not specify a setting for a particular bolt.

6mm - 4.3 ft-lb
8mm - 11 ft-lb
10mm - 22 ft-lb
12mm - 40 ft-lb
14mm - 61 ft-lb

Which backrest are you installing?

The Star Raider removable one. Like the one on gc_Raider's bike .
The mount has been here, had to order the higher backrest dealer had the lower on stock.
But I want to put a bag on for trips I felt the higher would work better.
Hey thanks for the settings didn't want to crush or mess-up the struts.

Thanks again
