2014 Cobra CX65 Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2014 Cobra CX65 Dirt Bike.
The 2014 Cobra CX65 delivers the liquid-cooled 65cc youth motocross platform in its eighth year with updated suspension calibration and improved braking hardware. Eight years of CX65 development produce the most refined version of the platform, with every component specification validated through competitive use. Improved brake components on the 2014 CX65 provide better stopping power for the faster, heavier riders at the upper end of the 65cc class eligibility range. Disc bolt torque at 8 Nm and caliper mounting bolt torque at 18 Nm (front) and 15 Nm (rear) maintain the integrity of the improved braking system that supports the more aggressive deceleration zones competitive 65cc riders use.

Thread Locker Application
- Rear sprocket nuts
- Disc bolts (front and rear)
- Linkage bolts
- Subframe bolts
- Exhaust flange nuts
Torque Wrench Selection
A 3/8-inch drive click-type — 10–50 Nm — handles the primary fastener range of the eighth-year CX65. Improved braking performance is maintained by consistent disc bolt and caliper torque verification.
