Handlebar Bolts Torque Specs

Quick answer this; do you know right off hand what the torque spec is for your handlebars? Normally it’s going to be quite low, something like 10-20 ft-lb (120-240 in-lb). Point is, you should be aware of the exact spec when adjusting handlebar positioning.

Another thing to be checking is the security of these bolts; some sleds are fitted with “soft” aluminum blocks, and you’ll notice more movement and loosening of the bolts on these sleds (our Firecats seem to experience this more than our other sleds).
