2006 Honda CR85 Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2006 Honda CR85 Dirt Bike.
The 2006 Honda CR85 continued as a premier youth motocross machine in the mini class. Honda’s liquid-cooled, power-valve 84cc two-stroke remained the powerplant, delivering a competitive edge for junior riders committed to the racing ladder. By 2006, the CR85 had established a strong reputation for reliability and performance when properly maintained. These torque specifications apply throughout the 2006 model.
Cylinder & Clutch Fasteners
The clutch on the 2006 CR85 uses a wet multi-plate design appropriate for the power output of the 84cc engine. Clutch hub nut torque must be confirmed after any clutch service—a loose hub nut will cause the basket to shift during hard acceleration, producing engagement problems and accelerating basket wear.
