So, I just retorqued my motor mounts trying to track down some vibration. Realized after I torqued the bolts that I had the bike slightly suspended using a floor jack. Should the bike be hanging freely from the frame when I torque down the bolts?
Thanks!

Instead of bike you mean the engine? No, when the bike is assembled in the factory, most often the engine is put on a support and the frame is bolted into place, not the other way around.Should the bike be hanging freely from the frame when I torque down the bolts?

Yeah, the engine, sorry. Ok, cool. That makes me feel better. Thanks!
