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…
