Slime makes a series of polyurethane strips for bicycles, meant to fit between tire and tube to prevent flats. Has anyone tried these (or anything similar) on their motorycle tires? Dreas

104in-lbs (i.e. not much)

130ft-lbs An interesting little note in my 650A manual says: "Replace the mageneto flywheel bolt with a new one. This bolt is required to replace if it has been tightened once to the specified torque." Tightening procedure of the magneto flywheel bolt is the following. Tighten the magneto flywheel bolt to 120N-m (12.0 kg-m, 87 ft-lbs) of torque. Do not overtighten it now. Loosen the bolt and then tighten again to the same torque (above). Finally, tighten the bolt to the specified torque." I don't know of anyone who has actually replaced the bolt as per manual spec. Mister_T
