Here is Torque specs for new clutches from Tech Update book

Where did you find this? Damn you Yamaha.....
It's always been 80, I bet because the SW has more torque.

My Advice... retorque the Sidewinder clutches. Mine slipped on the crank a little but it wasn't very tight. It never popped with the pull just came off...
I retorqued it now 106 ft-lbs then 55 ftlbs for the bolt we'll see if that is enough. I'll inspect it again soon.

So can I do this without pulling the clutch off first or do I need a puller and get the clutch off then retorque.

I believe you could pull bolt out out a little oil on threads and follow torque procedure. Pay attention to ser if bolt tightens that will let you know that you weren't tight enough.So can I do this without pulling the clutch off first or do I need a puller and get the clutch off then retorque.

But it is debatable if you have to pull clutch first. That could affect the press of the clutch on the shaft.

Should be able to leave it on if it was loose the higher torque will just seat the clutch tighter on the tapered crank no need to remove in my opinion

I guess i would need some sort of tool to hold the clutch to do this? Any idea where i can get one?

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the updates, how to's and support ty and the members give.


Was normal on the previous clutches there is a sleeve in there. Way back they used to have a set screw to stop that. Normal though.Awesome thanks I also noticed that the bolt on each of the rollers had play back and forth is this normal?

Does anyone have torque specs for 12mm secondary nuts and 10mm primary bolts?
I believe the 6 primary bolts get set to 100 inch pounds---don't remember on the 3 to set the helix
