I have got a torque wrench, not sure if it goes as low as 30Nm, i will have to check, if not i will buy one that does go that low, always come in handy.

Thanks for the replies, someone must have over tightened it last year

after nicely rounding off the 12mm sump plug, i bought the irwin nut remover set, worked a treat after hammering the 11mm nut remover on, i bought the sp1 sump plug which is 17mm and it fitted fine, i just wanted to know if there is any reason why i shouldn't use that size?

The one StormyRob had in his post didn't look brill in the picture but it was very good, it's now on the bike and looks straight, although i haven't put the fairing back on yet i think it's fine, when i looked across the old one you could tell it was bent, thanks all.

I have taken a chance with it as there's not many about, thanks for that

Do you think that one is worth buying? bought it now, thanks for the help.

Cheers

Yours is out by a bit but a good amount of heat and a long bar should bring it back close

Cheers mate, i will make a few enquiries locally, unless one turns up on ebay.

Mine is bent after bike fell over last winter.

Thanks for replies, i was answering hours ago but my internet went off, if i could give the correct measurements could someone who works with metal straighten it?

The bracket is bent after falling over last year, is it possible to get it straight again? the only ones i can see online are from the usa.

I'll be there from the 4th of june, dates seem a bit later this year.

Thanks all, just greasing up the zimmer

Thanks, that looks about 3.5 ltrs, in a post last year carl said it was 2.8595 ltrs in total, someone else confirmed they used 2.7 ltrs in total, seems a bit odd.
