Talked to a service man he says 15 or 12 but I could just snug it just as well.

10 NM is what the manual states.

Make sure you go back and check the torque on them after about 5000 miles

I'm about to look at tightening these. I have a very small amount of oil coming from the weep hole at the rear of the engine. I can't open the service manual on my phone. Are these relatively easy bolts to access on the oil-tank side of the engine?

It's relevant to what air intake setup you have, if it's OEM ducting it's a way more complicated job. I went and bought a set of T handled allen keys ( metric ) made it much easier to get done.

Thanks,

I'll be in front of my bike tonight, but of course, since I've spotted the oil and done some reading, now I'm obsessing about the problem.
