master cylinder guard install question

[Ross Lindberg]

Hi Eddie. I installed a Dual-Star master cylinder guard shortly after purchasing my '06. I was nervous about how that master cylinder hung out in the open. I simply bolted it on and didn't use a torque wrench. As with all fasteners on the KLR a couple drops of blue Loctite helps keep them where they need to be. I think in many applications a torque wrench is a good idea, but this isn't one of them in my opinion. Just use common sense and don't overtighten the fasteners and you should be ok.
