PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me the torque settings for the 2 dome headed nuts on the exhaust ports of my 125?
I had to remove the back wheel for a tyre change and am now ready to refit.

Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
pretty sure it is 29nm, best to use a new gasket as well
Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Fantastic. Thanks Chainsaw.
Yeh got the gasket just didn't know the torque settings, once again many thanks.

Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Just do it up with a normal socket set till it feels right.

Don't you have a torque wrench? It'll be pretty low. Let me know and I'll tell you from the manualSteve W wrote:Fantastic. Thanks Chainsaw.

Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Yes, Like chainsaw says, It is 29nm or 21ft Lb in the manual.
And a new gasket is required.
While it can be done up snug until it feels right, but if you're asking, then you must have the proper tools.... Bravo

Too many scoots..... 12 or so I think .
Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Haven't used a torque wrench (as a torque wrench) for nearly three decades.
Never stripped a thread and never had a bolt come undone in all that time.
Stripped a few threads with said torque wrench though... which is why I stopped using it as such.

All done......properly.
As an aircraft engineer I do find it difficult not to use the correct kit. Sorry gn2
Thanks to all who replied.

Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Same here. I've got 3 different torque wrenches in various sizes. Theres loads of alloy stretchbolts on cars now that have to be torqued then turned to a specific angle to be sure they are not overtightened.Steve W wrote:All done......properly.

They are calibrated every 6 months to check for accuracy.

Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
I suspect gn2 has one the low buck lever pointer torque wrenches which is why he now uses it as a breaker bar
Re: PCX125 Exhaust Port Torque
Last time I looked the PCX wasn't an aircraft .....
My torque wrench was a cheapie but its not one of the bendy lever things.
