Upgrade your factory hardware with precision. Below is the essential size and torque chart for Yamaha XMAX 300 components.
| Application | Thread Size | Recommended Torque | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front/Rear Brake Calipers | M10 x 1.25 x 25mm | 35 Nm | Provides higher tensile strength, ensuring superior safety and stability during extreme braking. |
| Front/Rear Brake Rotors | M8 x 1.25 x 25mm | 23 Nm | Significantly lowers unsprung mass to improve steering agility; highly resistant to high-temperature warping. |
| Exhaust Shield | M6 x 1.0 x 15mm | 10 Nm | Exceptional heat resistance. The PVD burnt color process drastically enhances the motorcycle's aesthetic texture. |
| Shock Absorbers / Linkage | M10 x 1.25 x 40mm | 40 Nm | Resists corrosion from road mud and acid rain, effectively extending the lifespan of chassis components. |
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose titanium bolts over 304 stainless steel for the XMAX 300?
While stainless steel offers basic rust prevention, it is significantly heavier and has a lower yield strength than titanium. TIANSWER uses Gr5 titanium, which delivers equal or greater strength at exactly half the weight of stainless steel. Furthermore, titanium exhibits vastly superior corrosion resistance, making it the ultimate choice for high-humidity coastal or rainy environments.
Do I need to use anti-seize lubricant when installing TIANSWER titanium bolts?
Yes. To prevent cold welding or galling between dissimilar metals (such as a titanium bolt and an aluminum alloy caliper bracket), we strongly recommend applying a copper- or nickel-based anti-seize lubricant to the threads. Always tighten the bolts to the recommended torque specifications to ensure hassle-free maintenance in the future.
Will the Burnt Blue finish on the titanium screws fade over time?
No. Our advanced anodizing and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) vacuum coating processes penetrate deep into the material's surface layer. The color will not fade under normal riding and washing conditions. To maintain maximum luster and brilliance, simply avoid spraying strong acidic or highly alkaline cleaners directly onto the hardware.
