Raptor Chapter

Morning

Anybody out there know the torque setting for the sump plug? with the aluminium engine don't want to chance stripping threads.
have recently bought a beastie and the obligatory service needs to be done before any serious riding? seems to be difficult to find the torque settings for any engine bolt? anybody know any good websites for torque settings?

Cheers

welcome in and congratulations

my workshop manual states 7.3 ft/lb or 10 N-m or 1,0 Kg-m

look after her regular oil and filter changes and she'll be good

Welcome in, if you are looking for the details for the Raptor, best option would be to download the workshop manual, there are various links on here to it.

Where are you?

You have joined just in time for the camping weekend in August, you could have a captive audience full of beer/information, so long as you are sober enough to remember..

The Dragon knows that of which it speaks, 100k miles on that one!

Welcome to the asylum!

I only tend to torque things like axles or cylinder heads. Tight but not to tight sounds about right.

thanks for the torque settings, much appreciated, would rather set using wrench as am a bit heavy handed

I`m in east Anglia (Lowestoft) where does the raptor meet happen and what is the date?

as a new owner you're now required to get yourself into the 'Virtual Bar' and virtually provide virtual drinks Dean
and then you can tell us which Raptor you've bought -- is it silver, red, or the red/white/green special??


next meet is mid August, edit --> DERBYSHIRE
