2025 R1300GS Adventure Crash Bar Torque Values

[redrhino]

Looking for torque value for OEM crash bar fasteners on the R1300GS Adventure. Thanks in advance.

IMHO you could go by the torque values of the 1200/1250 and go from there. Each size I.E an M8 has a max value no matter who’s vehicle it goes on… YMMV
Even the valve clearances are the same…

Can't speak for the OEM ones, but IIRC the Touratech are 23nm.

I think OEM is 19nm but want to verify. Gutuntite is I’m sure ok but would like to add to my torque value spreadsheet since mounting skid plate. Thanks for the reaponse.

I know they’re likely similar between bikes. Just trying to verify. Thanks.

"By feel" is prob'ly close enuf, but along with the bolt size, also consider what it's threading in to!
A steel bolt into a steel nut will have a higher recommended torque than the same bolt into aluminum.

Hope your doggie wasn't about to leave a mess...
