    Sump pan bolt torque value

    Hey y’all, Today I finally replaced my sump pan on my 2015 rocket 3 roadster and when putting the new pan on, the screws broke before reaching the indicated spec of 12Nm. Is it recommended to replace these bolts each time? Got lucky since torque is so low and was able to remove the broken end...

    Sump gasket 2010 Touring.

    Hi ya all, thought my filter was leaking over the past 2 changes, but on closer inspection (and a clean up) it looks like I need to change my sump gasket on a 2010 Touring. Any of you guys got a tightening sequence diagram I can grab off you. Thanx Bill

    Sump drain plug o ring question

    Hi guys, when I pulled the sump drain plug( the one with the o ring), I noticed the o ring was at the base of the threads. My question is shouldn’t it be within the groove just below that? I’m not sure f I did it wrong last time. The picture will show where it presently is. I just want to be...

    magnetic Oil Sump Plugs?

    I am wondering if anyone has bought and installed magnetic drain plugs for your oil sump? I have used them on my bikes in the past, but they typically have a hex head that protrudes from the drain hole. On this Rocket, I see it is a recessed hex bolt, M14, 1.5 thread. Just seeing if anyone...

    Oily sump - [now sticky: excellent explanations of case separation and input shaft removal]

    Hey friends, Just noticed some oily drops under my 2013 R3 and took a look under and realized the sump was covered in oil. I realized that one of the hose leading to the sum is sectioned... not sure if that's the origin of the issue or if I just need to replace the sump plugs washers. I'm...

    Why does the manual call for new oil pickup bolts?

    I get that pretty much no one actually does this, and a little threadlock does the trick. But why does the service manual call for replacing these every time the oil pickups are disassembled? They're just screws… “CAPSCREW, M6 X 12”… What can change in the single use of a screw that warrants...

    Sump plate types and suitability?

    I picked this up as a spare for Au$90 (US$70) today. The sump plugs alone must be worth that! ;):D I presumed being a late model and black it should be fine for my '10 model Roadster. Interestingly it was cast in 2008 a couple of years earlier than the product label which would suggest an early...

    Sump pan

    I finally removed, cleaned, and installed the new sump gasket, I was applying torque to bolt #3 when instead of click... it went snap! Broke the friggin bolt inside of the crankcase. It's either time for a new torque wrench, or definitely time for some new bolts. Crap

    What is the grub bolt near the sump plugs

    Did the oil change for the first time tonight and undid a grub bolt instead of the rear sump plug. Oil came out but then realised what I did and put it back in. Anyone know what it is for and if it will create an issue
