Thanks David. That explains why I couldn't get passed 25nm without shearing 2 torx bits!

David is correct with the torque settings MacJ quoted the settings for caliper mounting bolts Sullivj wrote:

The front brake caliper mounting bolts are 30 Nm, in both the Haynes Manual & BMW Rider's Manual.

Not if you're looking at the manual for water cooled :silence:DaygloDavid wrote: The front brake caliper mounting bolts are 30 Nm, in both the Haynes Manual & BMW Rider's Manual.

Yes I know, I was referring to the small difference in what I quoted as it's slightly different for the water cooled RT's which coincidently is the same value that MacJ quoted. ::)

Hey Gents,
I have just checked the front discs and they move ever so slightly. I checked the back disc and it does not move at all. Has anyone noticed the same slight movement?
Thanks. Cheers, Pat

Re: Front disc bolt torque?
Thanks Dave for clarifying the discs tightness issue. After writing my question, I realized the floating/heat dispersion aspects. Notwithstanding my realization, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my query. Cheers Pat
