I just hit 600 miles wanted to do the first oil change myself. I’ve done 100s in my lifetime.. for some reason I wanted to everything according to speck instead of my gut.. so i set my torque wrench to 32 lbs and put on a new crush washer…. And I don’t hear a click…. ( it was at that moment I knew I fucked up.. ) back it out and behold I see the oil pans threads on the bolt…
granted I was hyped cuz I have the alpine loop to do this month and was getting the bike ready for it… 150 bucks later I have a new oil pan and a gasket coming … I do have a question tho.. does anyone know what the torque specs are for the oil pans 11 bolts ?
I knew Better than to even use a torque wrench on a drain plug.. but I’m sure I need to torque these properly at least
