Putting my wheels on tonight...anybody know what the proper lug nut torque is?

I have never use a torque wrench when putting on the lug nuts. Just tighten them up as tight as you can get without using excessive force. Check them after the 1st hour or so of riding.

Agree^^^^^^^^^
I know it is recomended to do so but I check them alot.

I torque everything to spec...on a 180 mph machine it can mean the difference between life and death. My habits will carry over to my quad too. No ideas?

I don't have a 420 Rancher service manual, but in the 350 Rancher service manual, it is 47 ft-lbs. I also looked in every other Honda utility service manual that I have and it is 47 ft-lbs in all of them, so I would say that it would be 47 ft-lbs for the 420 Rancher, too.

My manual for my 450 say 47lbs too

Rancher 420 is 47lb-ft also

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate the info. I was going to call the stealership, but was doubtful they would have told me.
