Shop parts for a 2024 GAS GAS MC-E5 Dirt Bike.
The 2024 GAS GAS MC-E5 continues GAS GAS’s commitment to bringing quality youth MX products to riders at the entry level of the sport through electric power. Updated for 2024, the MC-E5 provides a clean, quiet, and low-maintenance introduction to motocross competition that appeals to families making their first foray into the sport. Proper fastener torque on the MC-E5’s chassis, drivetrain, and electrical mounting hardware is the baseline for a reliable, safe youth electric bike.
This is the torque reference for the 2024 GAS GAS MC-E5.
Suspension & Chassis
Youth-scale suspension components on the 2024 MC-E5 use small fasteners with proportionally low torque values. Always use a low-range wrench—adult bike torque wrenches cannot accurately apply the torque values required by this youth machine’s hardware.
| Fastener | Torque Spec |
|---|---|
| Fork clamp bolts | 8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb) |
| Handlebar clamp bolts | 8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb) |
| Swingarm pivot bolt | 22–26 Nm (16–19 ft-lb) |
| Rear shock mounting bolts | 18–22 Nm (13–16 ft-lb) |
| Subframe bolts | 8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb) |
Electrical System & Motor Mounting
Motor mount and battery hardware integrity are the primary electrical maintenance items on the 2024 MC-E5. Disconnect the main battery before any electrical system service. Do not exceed specified torque on composite housing fasteners.
| Component | Torque Spec |
|---|---|
| Motor mounting bolts | 18–22 Nm (13–16 ft-lb) |
| Battery pack mounting bolts | 10–12 Nm (7–9 ft-lb) |
| Controller housing fasteners | 4–6 Nm (3–4 ft-lb) |
Drivetrain & Wheels
Pre-ride axle nut and drive fastener checks are essential on the 2024 MC-E5. Electric power delivery is smooth, but the forces the drive system places on axle and sprocket hardware are consistent and sustained—fastener integrity matters.
| Fastener | Torque Spec |
|---|---|
| Front axle nut | 15–20 Nm (11–15 ft-lb) |
| Rear axle nut | 30–35 Nm (22–26 ft-lb) |
| Drive sprocket/pulley bolts | 10–12 Nm (7–9 ft-lb) |
| Drive adjuster lock nuts | 5–7 Nm (4–5 ft-lb) |
Brakes
Disc brake hardware on the 2024 MC-E5 is youth-scale. Thread locker on disc bolts and caliper mount torque checks are standard maintenance before every session on this youth competition machine.
| Fastener | Torque Spec |
|---|---|
| Front caliper mounting bolts | 10–12 Nm (7–9 ft-lb) |
| Rear caliper mounting bolts | 8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb) |
| Brake disc bolts | 5–6 Nm (4–5 ft-lb) |
A beam or digital torque wrench rated 3–30 Nm is the right tool for the 2024 GAS GAS MC-E5. Disconnect the battery before electrical service, and build pre-ride fastener and connector checks into the preparation routine for every session.
