Wassup everyone! Does anyone know the torque specs to the oil drain nut. It was in my Hyper Rev but one boardmember has borrowed it for a long while. Thanks! Latez!

 

I don

 

I don't use a torque wrench on it either, but Chris is right, it doesn't have to be that tight...(in this case, S2SaV, the word 'tight' means snug, not 'cool' )

Also, make sure that you use a new washer each time you change the oil...

 

Per service manual, oil drain plug must be torqued to 33 ft/lbs and a new washer installed (washer gets compressed when first installed, costs about a quarter at the dealer).

The owner's manual says 33 lb/ft and the Helm manual says
29 lb/ft.

 

Does that mean the Japanese have smaller "feet" then the Germans? LOL

 

I would guess the Japanese use Newton/meters or Kilogram/meters but I have never seen a Japanese torque wrench, has anyone? What is the primary calibration?

My wrench has Newton/meters on it, but frankly I don't trust its accuracy for much more than lug nuts. I've never had one calibrated but I would guess there could be a pretty large tolerance in an inexpensive wrench.

I believe the SI units would be Newton x Meters (N
