I think this question might be a bit of a long shot - but I'll ask it anyway ....

Does anyone know the torque to which the front calliper bolts should be tightened.
I'm talking about the bolts that hold the 2 calliper halves together (not the bolts that hold the callipers to the forks - that info is in the workshop manual)

The info I'm really after is for the Mille 4-pad callipers but info for the Falco 2-pad callipers might get me in the right ball-park.

30 Nm? Complete guess.

Cheers Tim.

I think the AF1 link only gives the value for fixing them to the forks but i'd not seen the other one before ..... think that might be the right info.

Mangocrazy also said he'd done his to 25Nm - so that's looking favourite.

I'd go with 1000nm. Gotta make sure they dont fall apart when you brake.

Why 1000 nano metres?

Now, seeing that, it was a target indicator that a certain somebody was on form tonight...

Sure as eggs is eggs, a check of the daily quiz showed it to be true..
