Does anyone have the torque setting for the rotor bolts? I don't see them on this list. I took my bike in for some service and was told the rear rotor was at the minimum spec. The bike is a 2013 with about 85,000km.

Thanks

Can someone provide the torque spec for the header bolts? Thank you

Torque specs. https://yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/header-torque.17240/

Thank you so much. One pipe was def looser than the other causing a difference in coloration. 14lbs does seem too few. My tighter one was about 20 from factory.

Glad it worked out for you. FWIW, I googled "super tenere header bolt torque spec", as I've not yet learned to master search functions here.

Pro tip: Search function here sucks, better to Google it (you'll usually find the results from Goolge will point you right back here).
