Torx Bit Needed?

[EvilBetty]

I need to pull my crash bars (Happy Trail) from the side of the bike to get the alternator cover off to change a breather seal.

There is a large torx bolt on the frame I don't have a bit for.  Anyone know what size it is before I run out to pick one up? (and maybe what it should be torqued to when I reinstall it?)


The one running through the bars and the frame on the top.

T-55.  The bolts should be torqued to 80 Nm (59 ft-lbs).

Sweet!  It looks like there's also a 10mm allen bolt to the left of it.  I don't need to support the bike any more than normal when I pull these to I?  The top one looks like it it holds an engine mount to the frame.

Is the 10mm hex torqued to 80Nm as well?

The Torx bolt does hold the engine to the frame, but the engine won't move when that bolt is removed... it is secured by several more bolts in other places.

But I'm afraid I don't understand which 10mm bolt you're referrring to.

This is the other bolt.



I've got them both pulled.  But when I was whacking the alternator cover, a spacer fell from the frame from one of these two locations and I don't have a clue where it came from or where it goes...
