MAC'S Safety Tip
Working on motorcycles as we do, we have to loosen and tighten nuts, screws, bolts and the like as we are setting up and making adjustments. Some of us have a tendency to “put our all” into it as we tighten up those bolts.
There may be something satisfying about pulling a wrench as hard as you can until it won’t move another hair. However, you are not doing the equipment any favors. Most of the torque (bolt tightness) specifications would really surprise you, in fact.
Besides the obvious problem of the bolt being impossible to remove the next time, there are some more serious issues that arise when a bolt is over-tightened.
A bolt which has been over-tightened undergoes more stress than it was designed to handle. This not only applies to the nut, screw or bolt, but also to the framework you are bolting into. This extra stress can cause the bolt or the nut to fatigue, weakening it and compromising the safety of the machine. Not only that, many injuries occur during the process of over-tightening.
Next time, use a little locktite Blue and use the right torque spec's.

What a profound short little paragraph.....
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by
legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without
working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government
cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from
somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to
work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the
other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else
is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of
any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
