Recently purchased two new SR3's. I have asked the dealer (StarsandStripes) for torque settings on suspension and other bolts. Seems Radical is not interested in passing this info along to dealers. Does anyone have a list of reccommended torque settings for the SR3.

Not for a SR3 but a Prosport but these should give you a good guide.

the torque settings on the suspension bushes (red) are not done to a set torque, funnily enough they are done by feel. what you need to do is have 2 9/16ths spanners to tighten them, then put one of the spanners on the bolt head side of the bolt and rotate it, if it feels really stiff then it needs loosening or if it is very easy to turn it will need tightenihg, it seems a fuuny way to do it but there is no set tourque because each bush/mount may have a slightly different tollerence. as for the calipers they need to be as tight as you can get them and the same with the top upright bolt.
