[QUOTE="pegscraper, post: 819342, member: 692"] My negative experience using Yamaha's recommended torque: With torque wrench in hand, I followed the recommended torque and stripped the threads. :angry2: I had Temecula Motor Sports install a "timesert" which worked for 2 oil changes until the "timesert" came out with the bolt removal on the 3rd oil change. The shop claimed they applied adheasive when installing the "timesert". So they were kind enough to trailer my bike to the shop, where they installed a new oil pan. Lesson learned, do not follow Yamaha's recommended over zealous torque for this task. I now tighten until snug and add about another 1/4 turn, enough to crimp the Yamaha washer. [/QUOTE]
