    i've just removed my front wheel as i'm needing to replace the tyre,i've got the spacers mixed up,i don't think it will matter which side i put them in as they look identical or even which way round i put them.it says in the manual to note which side they came off..but i forgot:confused: does it make a difference?

    You'll probably see a line where the seals rub.

    couldn't see any marks on the spacers, i think I've put them in the way they came out, but i don't think it would matter as they are identical

    looking at the Haynes manual it says the front axle should be tightened to 65nm but for the previous vin numbers it says 95nm why would there be such a difference?..just wondering in case they should both be 95nm and it's a misprint

    My Sprint is 61Nm, I would go with the manual, unless someone has a workshop manual on line.
    I have tightened mine to 61Nm with no problem and 61Nm seams about right the only things I have over 100 are the front sprocket and the rear wheel. My manual says the same IE Speed after vin 461332 65Nm.

    you probably got the same manual as me 05 to 13 although mines a 14 but it's the same as the 13..should be ok with 65Nm

    I have a copy of the Triumph manual for Speed Triple, 65Nm is correct for the axle, however there is a difference for the pinch bolts between standard an R version (with Ohlins fork) - 22Nm for standard, - 19Nm for the R.

    Be wary of over-tightening the pinch bolts, I had the misfortune of spending a few years with a Ducati and there are numerous tales of cracked fork bottom castings due to this.
