Jesus! What is the torque spec for primary derby cover?
#41
That's the most illogical advice I've ever read. Why in the world would you advise any one to NOT use a torque wrench? I have 60,000 miles on this bike and many more on other bikes and have never damaged a derby cover screw. I torque them to 100 in. Lbs with no anti-seize or loctite and they come out with no problem every time. There is nothing wrong with Torx if used correctly and with the correct bit.

Everything involving the primary that I have removed, the bolts appeared to have a white thread locker on them. If it was really galvanic corrosion, it never repeated. If that is actually thread locker, the problem may be too much rather than over torquing, though the results and corrections are the same. Guess I have been lucky, no stripped heads.
