    Sitting here in the garage assembling the forks and realized the haynes only calls out a torque specification for the XJ750 and says to locktite it.

    Can anyone confirm the torque spec for this bolt on a 650J?
    I cant find it in the Haynes and I'm a little OCD. 14ft-lbs is a guess.

    Since the 650J and 750J use the same bolt. I'll go with the Spec for the 750J of 14 ft-lbs according to Haynes.

    "HCP8233 OEM fork tube damper rod RETAINING SCREW. For all XJ550, XJ650, XJ700, XJ750 (except XJ750 Seca), and XJ900RK models. Use 1 per tube. Each:
    $ 5.00"

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    As the 650 is the basis for both bikes. The 750 is just suplementary info. You should be safe going with the 750 spec.

    Took me a while to connect the dots. I remembered reading somewhere that some XJ650's were shipped with the 750 motors, then "ding". check chacals listings :oops:

    Edit: I did try search before posting though. lol
