Thanks. I think with the vibes and driving/steering stress they can work loose. One of them fell away with the weight of the wrench when taking them off this time and the rest didn’t have 90 lbs on them. I think this might be time for some of the old school retorquing after fifty miles or so and then checking from time to time. I don’t think that one lug was too far from departing the vehicle.(08-21-2020, 09:59 PM)Fiddyfoe Wrote: The good news is that the replacements, front only, are about as much as just the rear on my motorcycles. Getting a slightly harder compound with a good water shucking tread in a more conventional pattern. I would like a torque value for the lugs if anybody has one.My dealer told me 85 ft-lbs for all three wheels on a 2018 Venice.
I checked mine and found the front ones close, but the rear was about 25 - quite loose!
