[QUOTE="Bob Atkinson, post: 1155725, member: 27948"] I agree 31 ft. lbs. does seem scary tight. I have a 2011 FJR and a 2008 FZ1. I just checked the owners Manuals as well as the official shop manuals. Both are 43Mn/31 Ft. Lbs. I doubt if the manuals are incorrect. I have seen many posts saying that this to tight. Oil on threads vs. dry etc.. Some have stripped the threads. Maybe they have a cheap torque wrench or use the same crush ring over and over. Always use a fresh one and it torque against the washer not just the threads. With this said I use 25-30 ft. lbs. cause I'm chicken to use 31 Ft. lbs.. Bob [/QUOTE]
