Torque settings.

  Could any of you nice guys provide me with the torque settings for the drain plug and the oil filter? Thank you! Oh, almost forgot, the bike is an 1100 Evo.

I personally enjoy good and tight spec.  the oil filter should be tightned by hand. dont over tighen and grease the seal first with some oil.  I dont use a torque rench on oil drain plugs either.  just tighten untill it feels nice and tight, dont over do it.  most oil filters have a tightening procedure on the box, and it usually says 3/4 of a turn once the seal starts to mate with the surface. easier to do than explain.

My oil filter leaks if I tighten by hand...

just sayin'.

sump plug (with the large plug) and screen is 43nm.  small plug - late monsters, deep sump testa - is 20nm.  oil filter 11nm.

Torque spec on my filter is about 92db if I'm doing it by hand, and "make the beast with two backsen tight" if I'm using a wrench.

Thank you! I never guess when I'm tightening bolts after stripping the sump plug on my Jota back in the day. That was a costly mistake, the repair cost more than a good torque wrench!
