Front pulley torque specs - 2000 Harley Davidson XL 1200 S Sportster Sport

SOURCE: brake caliper torque specs

I'd put a drop of Loctite 242 (med. strenght blue) on the threads of each bolt and torque them to 25 foot pounds.

Testimonial: "the loctite is something I use always anyways, I was just wondering what to torque em to...thanks!!"

Seems like I answered this one before but I'll answer it again. The Fat Boy did not come with a belt drive primary from the factory. But, just in case you have a belt drive primary, the engine nut at the front primary drive torques to 150-165 foot pounds. The nut on the clutch torques to 60-80 foot pounds left handed. The large front final drive belt pulley torques to 125-150 foot pounds, left handed. You'll need a special tool to hold the front final drive belt pulley to prevent it from turning while applying the torque. Use locktite 271 red on all nuts.

On the front final drive belt pulley, take it off and look inside the pulley and inspect the small splines. If they're worn, the pulley needs to be replaced. Torquing instructions usually comes with the new pulley. They say torque the pulley to 50 foot pounds and then 1/2 hex or something like that. I've seen people have problems with this procedure. If you want to use this procedure, first torque the pulley to 100 foot pounds and then loosen the nut leaving the pulley where it is. Then, follow the instructions that come with the pulley. I've seen the pulley reach the 50 foot pounds of torque before it was fully back against the spacer giving a false torque reading. Needless to say, it will come loose if this happens. Good Luck

The best idea is to get a Service Manual for it.
