    clamped too tight

    Po installed exhaust system. Tightened the clamps enough that they slightly bent the pipes out-of-round. Real bitch to get apart and put back together.

    Front axle - how tight to reassemble?

    Swapped forks recently. What is the torque spec for the front axle? Too tight and it puts stress on the wheel bearings and the wheel doesn't turn like it should. Too loose and I worry that it could work out because it doesn't have a lock bolt or clip.
