when first installed and are severely weakened if reused. Reusing the original
bolts may cause bolt breakage resulting in engine damage, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
WARNING
The torque characteristics of the connecting rod bolts are sensitive to the rate at
which they are tightened. If all the torque is applied in one action, the bolts will be
stretched beyond their yield point. This may cause bolt breakage resulting in
engine damage, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Note
Prior to fitting the big end bolts lubricate the under head and thread areas of
the bolts with undiluted molybdenum disulphide grease.
Fit new bolts to the connecting rods.
