Torque settings for Givi Monokey top plate?

[PhilCEE]

Hi, Does anyone know the torque settings for fitting a Givi Mono-key top plate to the S10? Part number SRA2101.

I've looked at the Givi website and fitting instructions but can't seem to find them anywhere!

I just installed one on my ‘23 S10……snug, but tight. Just like the last time.

Gigi usually supplies nylock nuts to go with the baseplate so a torque setting isn’t often needed.
If you’re talking with connection to the bike, as bolts often go into aluminium threads, you don’t want ridiculous torque on there so I’d suggest nice & firm & use a thread locker.

Thanks for the replies all.

Greatly appreciated!

Hi!
Can you attach givi base plate without rear luggage rack or I must buy that too?
Thanks in advance

Pretty sure you need that OEM base to install it. I thought they were standard equipment though?

Mine went straight over the OEM base.

My Givi plate doesn’t use the OEM base plate.

That’s a different model Gigi plate than the one the he shows in the image.

Just did research.
Without OEM plate its not possible. At least not Sra2101. For SR371 I don't need it.
Somebody here did combo with this two plate.

I just installed one on my '23 S10. Didn't use loctite but tightened all screws as tight as I could get them. A few days later I removed the top plate to check the screws and the screw closest to the tail light had loosened some. My Givi instructions show a washer placed between the spacer and the OEM base in that location but the washer supplied in the kit was too large and didn't fit well. I removed that oversized washer and used couple of smaller washers I had in my garage and everything seemed to fit better. I think that solved my issue but I'll check the screws once again after my next day long ride to make sure none have loosened.

Did anyone use loctite to install their SRA2101? I was thinking of using the blue stuff.

Today I installed GIVI rack 2101 on my 1200ZE. Used lock tight glue and tightened it to my best sense.
planning to recheck the fitting after couple thousand miles.

Nice. If I may ask, which loctite did you use for the install?

These are the instructions that came with my sra2101. That "#9" washer came with the kit but doesn't fit properly. The other set of instructions I found online don't include that washer. I used a couple of washers I had laying around which fit better. I'm going to uninstall the kit today and reinstall without any washers in that location and use the blue loctite I have. Did your kit have these same instructions and that #9 washer?

Yes, I had the same issue. I did place the washer on the spacer and under the rack (in between). Also I watched one guy on YT did the same.

Think I saw the same video you did. If your washer is like mine, it's too large and doesn't fit properly in the groove. Did you find that to be the case?

Yes, the washer is large and doesn’t fit.
