Need Torque value for Primary Drive nut RZ350

#1 Post by Evans Ward » Thu Apr 05, 2018 4:51 pm

Could not find this in the factory service manual so asking here- what is the recommended torque value in ft lbs for the primary drive nut at right end of crankshaft? Also, blue locktite recommended? Thanks!

If I had to guess, I'd say 65 ft lbs. Anyone know definitively?

Pretty sure it's 58 ft/lbs on the flywheel nut and the front sprocket nut.
