    So I am in the middle of putting my new handlebar mounted master cylinder and new braided brake lines on my XJ750RJ but I can't find the torque specs for the caliper to fork mounting bolts for the 750 in the Haynes manual. can someone/anyone please help?! thanks in advance, Ethan

    fyi - my haynes manual lists them in the front tire (tyre?) removal/installation section. but i seem to recall 14 ft-lbs

    mines an 81 seca- maybe the 82's are different.

    my Haynes says 18.8 ft lbs. but that is for the (one) pivot bolt on the XJ650, different set up. I could not see any mention of torque for the XJ750RH or RJ

    To put a fine point on it... ehem. The GENUIWHINE factory manual sayz 32.5 ft/lb.
    Page 184 (Chapter 5: Wheels, brakes and tyres) in the Haynes shows 32 ft/lbs.

    Thank you Robert, there it is right where you said, Pg 184. the page is now dog eared and notes for torque and the page # are in the back of the manual.
