Yeah for me getting that little black bracket the holds the intake tube on and off was the hardest part. And getting a torque wrench to some of the bolts lol by the 4th replacement you must be a pro at it now
well after 3 other attempts at the dealership kevin volunteered and thankfully the 4th is holding. I will say the torque specs need to be strictly followed I believe 3 passes if i recall correctly. Under the tank is a bit of a rats nest with the plenum and wires etc. The valve cover is an issue for many with this bike but for others they never had it drip- those are the lucky ones.
Oh nice thats awesome, hopefully it continues to hold for you! And yeah I was very careful with the torque specs, although I believe for the 2017 they were supposed to be 12nm but everywhere I read everyone recommended 10nm so thats what I did on mine and it worked. Yeah some people get lucky and dont have the issue, hopefully the next one I get wont have the problem
Mine didnt have screw caps on it, so unfortunately I dont have the part number for those
Just a heads up for those tight places where the torque wrench & allen socket is too “long” to get in, cut the shaft of the socket down.
