    Thanks guys and to TLDV8 for the offer. This gives me an excuse to go buy another gadget. And Lou, that's what I'm trying to avoid.

    Now it's clockwise to loosen right?

    If your on the shore

    just run it up to me I can do it for you, or you can use the torque wrench and do it yourself, either way is good

    I bought a 3/8" drive micrometer type torque wrench from Powertool centre for about $70 and it does everything I need on my XV's. It is less acurate at the lower settings but I normally do them by 'feel' anyway. If you are planning on stripping your bike down and rebuilding it you will need one but otherwise just fine a mate with one and borrow it for the odd time you need one.

    Sadly that only works until you break the bolt, at which point owning a good drill and some Ezi-outs is a must

    (take it from me, I manage to break a bolt just about everytime I do something, and that's WITH 2 good torque wrenches! )

    Thanks for the coffee, Tim! The frame looks good, just don't call me in the early hours to let me know you've got the engine back in...!

    Torque wrench?
    A good thing for hitting a possum on the head, if you need it for for you bike then either (a) your're a ham-fisted incompetent and/or you have a nancy-boys bike that needs a hanky-up-the-sleeve type rider, either way I feel a torque wrench is as much use to you as a Polaris missile is to an abo.....

    I think I'm a ham-fisted incompetent. Does this mean we are related brother Scummy?
