Platinum Boarder Posts: 1705 Re:Oil/Trans drain plugs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Torque?! We torque'em?! Seriously, the rear plug you could torque but the front, not without a clawfoot socket and the formula for the offset angle and putting the bike on a floorjack. There are two oil change articles in the Tech Articles with pics that will show you where the plugs are and what to do. Remember, only 4 Qts... no more, no less. EDIT: Here's one...

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1869 Re:Oil/Trans drain plugs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Yeah seriously, I don't use a torque wrench on draining oil or gear oil. Tight, but not too tight... that's precise, isn't it?   Logged     2004 Road Star Silverado (original owner), over 55K mostly trouble-free miles Patriot Guard Rider, IBA Member, Star Touring & Riding   The administrator has disabled public write access. #187263 slezy (User) life is short enjoy every minute Platinum Boarder Posts: 2068 Re:Oil/Trans drain plugs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   W/o a torqe wrench you can snug plus 1/4 turn will get you close on bolts,filters.   Logged     life is once enjoy it to the fullest! bbcode   The administrator has disabled public write access. #187268 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

I stripped one of them right out! I had to use a permacoil to repair it.   Logged     CAGUAMA-Big and Cool   The administrator has disabled public write access. #187361 WUWU20 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 285 Re:Oil/Trans drain plugs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Got it all done tonight, thanks for all the help guys.   Logged     2006 Yamaha R* Spoke 2006 Mustang GT, Red 5sp www.myspace.com/WUWU20 facebook...James Suggs   The administrator has disabled public write access. #187421 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7907 Re:Oil/Trans drain plugs 3 Years, 1 Month ago   If you worry about such things the torque for the oil plugs is 32ft-lbs. the transfer case is 71 in.lb. but it's just as easy as to do what sleazy said. I see you got it done , great You can use the above for needless info now in a trivia game.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access.
