Hi want to say thanks as I brought a 2010 fatboy and the front master cylinder was leaking I was doing a 700 km ride back home stopped to tighten it up half way still leaked did not know about over tightening that must of been the problem in the first place. Great vid been a big help.
Thanks Matt!
Probably a silly question, but is a straight conversion for inch pounds to foot pounds. i.e. 24 inch pounds is the same as 2 foot pounds?
Hi Jamie, Not silly at all. Yes.
use a snapon metric and convert to inch pds
Hi, I wondered about this question myself. Will a torque screwdriver work just as well in this case? One like http://www.grainger.com/product/WERA-Adj-Torque-Screwdriver-6AAV6?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/6AAV6_AS01?$smthumb$ . The low scale torque range seem to be in the hi $250+ price range. On the MC, are there other uses for the low scale torque wrench?
I bought my inch lb torque wrench at Harbor Freight

Can you go ahead and send this over to every mechanic in the country? I’ve had one guy who actually used a torque wrench on my car’s lug nuts. Everyone else uses the damn air wrench.
I use my 3/8 drive snap on torque wrench. Conversion…simple math
Got a special offer for a year $2.35 for a year.
After a fluids change and running about 100 miles I noticed a whining noise. I thought it would go away but after 400 miles it hasn’t. Who has been through this before?
