Must be a lot of stripped oil pan threads on Yamaha bikes. They seem to recommend the same drain bolt tightening torque for all their bike engines. A few examples:
31 ft-lbs. 2004 FJR
31 ft-lbs. 2009 FJR
31 ft-lbs. 2009 FZ1
31 ft-lbs. 2009 R1
31 ft-lbs. 2009 R6
31 ft-lbs. 2009 V-Max
31 ft-lbs. 2009 V-Star 1300
31 ft-lbs. 2009 Road Star
It's odd that the recommended drain bolt tightening torque for the FJR's rear drive is only 17 ft-lbs. Maybe the engine oil pan is made of sterner stuff.
If the 31 is an error or oversight one might wonder when they'll stop repeating it.
