Torque values for T350 engine case bolts ???

Post by mike1161 »

I'm putting my '70 T350 motor back together, and for the engine case bolts (there are M6 and M8 sizes, assuming the torques are different), I can't find any reference to the torque values. I have both the Suzuki shop manual, and the Haynes manual, but neither one has any reference to these torque values!! Or am I missing something... Maybe need new glasses??? :lol:

Check the end of the manuals for a torque value table.

The table for the GT380 is on page 50 of the actual manual, page 53 if you get it from MYXmanuals, for reference.

Suzuki did publish information on torque specifications - take a look here, and Specification #3. It shouldn't be applicable to your bike, but on that same URL, you can also take a look at General #25

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !

Thanks!!! I had forgotten about all the info on the webpage with these service bulletins & specs. That answers the question!
