Torque setting for neutral switch
 

Does anyone know what torque setting I should use for tightening the threaded neutral switch on a '97 XT 4PT? The manuals don't mention it and I don't want to make the same mistake as the previous owner who over-tightened the old one so much it sheared when I tried to remove it. Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me.

What bolt size is it?

The switch is housed in a 10mm bolt which appears to be made of brass and has threads that are slightly finer and closer together than those on a normal bolt.

Ye that one says 20nm and loctite in manual.

Thanks xtrock. That will hopefully avoid me breaking it :-)

Forget the Loctite and it won't break trying to remove it . I hate that crap like the plague . Very seldom will things fall out if properly torqued and no Loctite.

Hehe i have never changed this and if they last 30years i dont think its a BIG problem having loctite here..

Thanks for the warning jjrider. I'll treat the stuff with great caution.
