The other tightening torques depend on the nut sizes: M4: 2.5 to 4.0 N.m., M5: 4.0 to 6.0 N.m., M6:
6.0 to 7.5 N.m. Tighten the bolts according to the required torque.
Regularly check the tyres and the tread of the rear wheel: wear, cuts, cracks, pinching. Replace the
tyre if necessary. Check the wheel rims for excessive wear, warping, denting, cracks...
