ought ten posted:This is so idiotic I'm almost too embarrassed to post. New (old) bike, new torque wrench, first oil change. Not my first time doing an oil change. Pulled out the old oil filter, made sure not to lose the stupid spring, checked the o-ring, wiped everything down, popped the new one in. Checked the torque specs, set my wrench, double checked the specs, went to town. Seemed like I was putting a lot of force on these little bolts but what do I know. Suddenly, no resistance. That's funny, never had a torque wrench that worked like that before. Bolt head felt secure to my fingers, so I moved to the other bolt. Tighten, tighten, no resistance. Job well done, I thought. You've made me paranoid to do my own first oil change that I was planning to do now...

Thanks man, I appreciate the encouragement. This is my new 12mm oil drain bolt (bought a brand new honda original part, 6 flipping quid for a bolt...). Will get some similar washers too shortly from the local shop. Thinking about getting the following torque wrench and socket set in order to torque it up to 30NM as per the manual, think it should do the trick?: https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnusson-torque-wrench-3-8-x-14/5848v https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnusson-3-8-drive-socket-set-40-pcs/3503x

Slavvy posted:What made you replace the drain screw? Old one hosed? It's a 125, it's had 5 owners prior to me, if I take it off and it's messed up, it's best to have a spare around... No idea if anyone has ever changed the oil on this during its 7500 or so miles its done. I'll get the torque wrench just in case, so that I know what's the right amount of torque, never worked on something like this before (I have however stripped screws in computers before by over tightening them...). Thanks Slavvy.

I fill up early, I hate the idea of being caught short.

Tanks, IMO, should have at least 200 miles of range worth of fuel carrying capacity in them. My current 100-ish mile tank is annoying.
