There's a number of operations I don't pull a torque wrench out to do, but that's partly because I've done them so many times I can torque pretty closely just by feel. But anything beyond routine maintainance, like a cam swap, or top end rebuild, swingarm replacement, etc, gets torqued to factory specs.

I suppose if I were to do the same operation daily, or several times a day, I'd get to where I'd use a torque wrench less and less, but most of us are far from that.

Just because a bike hasn't had a torque wrench on it since it was built doesn't mean a damn thing. At only 80K miles, it's altogether likely that it hasn't needed any major work.

 

Alright!!! That's the hammering I was expecting LOL.

Get a 1/4-3/8 or a 3/8-1/4 adapter and use what you have. If you are working on your brakes it's a Torx socket, or a 10 MM 12 point. The 12 point is a little sloppy, but you can order from Sears or Snap On. After breaking or wearing out several of my Craftsman and SK tools and neither of them them no longer honoring their tool warranty, I now buy all Snap On....well worth the cost and no hassle warranty.

Good Luck.
