OVERVIEW

TORQUE

KEY TORQUE SPECS

Following these guidelines will help maintain the performance of your bicycle and prevent 
more serious problems from arising. It is important to remember that service intervals can vary 
depending on climate, trail conditions and riding frequency. If you are unsure about working on 
your own bicycle, contact your authorized Yeti Dealer for more information on general bicycle 
maintenance.    

Yeti strongly recommends using a torque wrench when assembling your frame. Torque 
specifications for individual parts on the SB5+ are listed below, as well as in the step by step 
assembly instructions later in the manual. For general bicycle maintenance please consult the 
torque specifications of the component you are adjusting.
