I'm pretty sure I remember it as 87 nm

If they had to ask that I would take the bike elsewhere . Do they know how to balance correctly and run the tyres the correct direction ?

 

heres the numbers

60nm front axle
20nm front axle pinch clamp
85nm rear axle nut


multiply by .7376 to get foot lbs.

 

Actually, I would find the fact that they ask to be rather comforting. Alot of places would just put the rattle gun on the nut until it stops turning.

 

doh! there goes the ol memory:dull:

 

Thanks to all for the info, it got me my bike back right quick. The shop is reputable, and always been helpful to me. They didn't have the specs for Triumph and just wanted to do it right.

So 65 miles tells me that the Metzlers are quieter, stickier, smoother and the best thing I have done for my Scrambler. Can't wait to break them in a little more so I can really check them out in the corners.

 

I believe you'll be pleased with the Tourances over the long haul. I've been running them for the past 3-4 years on my R100GS, and am probably on my 3rd-4th (5th?) set. Good traction, good mileage, good in the corners. This bike originally came with a tire called the Sahara (Metzeler) and the tread made so much rolling noise, I went to a street tire .... until the Tourance was introduced.

Hopefully the shop knew to "bounce" the forks a couple of times prior to tightening the nip screw on the right fork.
This action allows the forks to settle in the correct position for optimum travel smoothness. You would be surprised how many mechanics don't do this, and side wear on the slider bushes is usually the end result.
