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.

FastenerTorque Spec
Fork clamp bolts8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb)
Handlebar clamp bolts8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb)
Swingarm pivot bolt22–26 Nm (16–19 ft-lb)
Rear shock mounting bolts18–22 Nm (13–16 ft-lb)
Subframe bolts8–10 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.

ComponentTorque Spec
Motor mounting bolts18–22 Nm (13–16 ft-lb)
Battery pack mounting bolts10–12 Nm (7–9 ft-lb)
Controller housing fasteners4–6 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.

FastenerTorque Spec
Front axle nut15–20 Nm (11–15 ft-lb)
Rear axle nut30–35 Nm (22–26 ft-lb)
Drive sprocket/pulley bolts10–12 Nm (7–9 ft-lb)
Drive adjuster lock nuts5–7 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.

FastenerTorque Spec
Front caliper mounting bolts10–12 Nm (7–9 ft-lb)
Rear caliper mounting bolts8–10 Nm (6–7 ft-lb)
Brake disc bolts5–6 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.
