    Front brake caliper XLR125RW

    Just been stripping and cleaning front caliper,seized and had plenty of neglect.

    Surprised to find it is a twin pot,is this the same as other xlr's?

    Anyone have any torque figures for bolting the caliper back to the fork leg?

    I have a Handbook on its way ,and Honda parts listings.

    Are there any sites that list the torques required for normal servicing?

    All questions me

    it is not unusual for it to be a twin pot, the cr, crf and xlr's are virtualy the same
    as for torque, i have never used a torque wrench on mine.

    Just do what everyone else has done at least once - tighten it up until something strips, and then regret it....................

    If that means lbs per foot (ft-lb) it should be 18.
