you are exactly right right about the torque

The drain bolt is 43Nm and the Filter bolt is 15Nm. I did the drain bolt up went away to clean the filter housing and forgot to change the torque settings and you can guess the rest.

It was a hard pill to swallow and very humbling

I eventually found that I had to replace the starter relay which is not too expensive and then i had to service the starter motor. This was due to me not waterproofing m...

I was sort of in the same situation as you. I would clean the carbs first before attempting to balance and make sure that the manifold rubbers are in good condition. Otherwise you could be wasting time and money The spark plugs are pretty easy to access. Once you take the air box off just need to re...
