Grateful if anyone can tell me the torque seetings for the four hex socket bolts holding the sump plate at the base of the deep sump. Bike is a 998R but I guess it is the same for the S and the 996R.
I have them written down somewhere, will have a look when hangover clears. I know its only a very small amount as I misread the settings when I did mine! As I was tightening them I thought to myself these are much too tight and then one snapped, Silly mistake.
Have got back my piece of mind and retightened to 9NM. Was bit concerned I may have overtightened and was anticipating that horrible feeling where the torque increases and then the bolt goes horribly loose. Luckily that didn't happen, so I can look forward to the bottom of the negine and all of its 3.8l of oil staying in the right place.
