I can't find the numbers to torque those bolts to? Could someone please post them for me? Thank you very much

I just did its first oil change (since I bought it) and filter change, I switched to AMS oil 20w50 synthetic

I've looked everywhere except in the service manual, I didn't find any torque value for those bolts, when I do my oil change I just snug them up pretty good and that's it.

Don't torque those bolts. I tried once to the specs (I think only 8 pounds) and I snapped one off. Just snug them up and make sure the o ring is in good shape.

I was curious as to the torque after reading this and did some looking/reading to find it. I found the torque spec in the OWNERS manual(of all the places..lol). The serivce manual just says to tighten them "securely".
Just becareful!!

Where in the owners manual did you find it. In mine it just says tighten them up snug.

Page 99 in the "owner's manual", the book that comes with the quad.

I must have missed that part. I see it now. I didn't torque it to that I did just snug enough not to come loose.

Thanks for the info on the page.
