Anybody know where you take torque wrenched to have them calibrated??

 

Hey Ken,

Check out this video on how to adjust the clutch

7.5ftlbsX(12in/ft)= 90inlb That is the right conversion but it is for the lock nut.

 

Ken if you don't want to guessimate the torque by feel. Get the proper torque wrench and a set of these: 3/8" Drive Fractional Open End Crowfoot

 

Hi Ken,

Sorry, this is the correct link

Good video, Good luck Ken

 

I agree, with the conversion being such a low setting for a ft/lb wrench it sounds like you went over the top if you feel the need to torque your common adjustments spend the money get a good torque wrench inch and foot lbs and a little fyi when not in use always back the tension off your torque wrench it helps keep it somewhat true.

 

Ken, this won't be the first "challenge" you face doing your own work. I'm pretty sure every wrench type here has been through the same kind of situation when they first lifted a tool. It's called "experience" and you don't get it without doing it. I myself have screwed up onceand paid the price. If you screw up the same way twice you need to question your ability. Otherwise, take your lumps as they come, follow the manual, and keep at it, try to keep the screw ups minor and cheap. You will be OK!

 

Thanks for all the help guys. Bought a replacement release plate and plan to intall this evening. Hopefully I wont break my neck or catch myself on fire in the process. Pray for me.

 

You got it Ken. Keep trying, never give up and carry your credit card at all times. Maybe next time we should post this in the Religion Froum. I've done many stupid things that have cost me money to my bikes over the years. Ain't no thang.
