      Torque: 25 N*m (255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf) 

      NOTE:

      Securely insert the 6 mm hexagon socket wrench into the rear shock absorber rod to prevent damage to the rear shock absorber assembly when tightening the rear support to rear shock absorber nut.

      HINT: 

      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

        Refer to PRECAUTION [12/2022 - 03/2023]

      • When using SST (fulcrum length of 200 mm (7.87 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)):
