Rear Suspension Torque

[john_c]

Hello everyone.....

I have a 1994 KDX 250....The damn thing appears to have less than 800 miles, and I've put at least 500 on it.

I just took apart the entire rear end. The sleeves looked brand new, so I dug out what I could of the old grease, and put new bel-ray waterproof grease in all the linkage on rear suspension.

Two questions. How much should I torque down the various bolts? (dog bones, swing-arm pivot, etc....) and 2, should I use thread lock on em? Red or blue?

Thanks!
