Is there a specific order and torque for tightening the pinch bolts and axle bolts?
Any suggestions would help.
Yes, there is a specific order.... you'll want to torque up the axle BEFORE the pinch bolts are tightened. Also, the 2G Bandits have you bounce the forks up and down several times prior to tightening the axle (per the service manual).
The axle should be tightened to 72.5 ft. lbs. - I have the pinch bolt number at the house and will post it later if someone doesn't beat me to it. (guessing around 16.5 ft lbs. based on my less than stellar memory).
Most likely though, it'll be associated with the steering head bearing tightness. There have been reports of the new 1250's being delivered with loose heads. If that's not the case it could be the tire itself - some front tires don't play well some rear tires.
Good luck or keep your hands on the bars.
