Perhaps another set of eyes can locate the place in the service manual that specifies the amount of torque to be applied to the spark plugs when installing new ones. I've looked through both the old book and the new one and can't find it. There's not even a section on changing the plugs. I would have thought there would be a section on it.
I changed the plugs last night but I'd like to put a torque wrench to 'em before I put the tank back on.
FYI, changing the plugs was easier than I thought, especially with the 3x K&N's installed and the air ducts removed. The spark plug wrench that comes in the Triumph tool kit works very well. Based on a tip from the other site I duct taped together the spark plug wrench to a 5/8" socket and then taped to a 10" extension. No dropped plugs (and they are waaay down in there), the tool didn't become separated, easy peasy.
If someone in the know can quote the torque settings, I'd appreciate it.
