F800GS motor mount torque?

[pgarb]

Hi,

I'm just finishing installing the Alt Rider crash bars for my F800GS. They use the OEM T50 torx motor mount bolt for the install, but I cannot for the life of me find the torque value for this bolt. I have the repair DVD on the way, but I want to ride now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know if you need others and I will grab them from the dvd.

I really appreciate you taking the time to list those, but I have no idea which bolt on that chart is the one I'm looking for. I'm not mechanically inclined but these things didn't look too hard to install (and weren't) so I apologize for being an idiot.

All the bolts listed in that chart are Mxx...I thought M were the metric hex bolts? The one I need the torque value for is a T50 torx bolt.

nevermind, I just schooled myself on metric nomenclature. I'm still not sure which bolt it is, I'll torque it to 19Nm for now and ask the shop.

Here is a list of the torques taken from F800riders.org

Also, here is an instruction video for the installation:

Maybe that will help.

P.s. I have had my f800gs only 2 weeks, so reading up.

Here is the bolt in question. Could somebody please tell me what the proper torque value is? I assume it's the same for the left and right.

Don't forget the spacer on the right side. GH

Curious to know if anyone had packaged with their givi engine guard a set of two rubber rings? The instructions don't list them or even show where they go??

Any help is greatly appreciated.
