Exactly... Another lesson to add to the many I've learned since I started wrenching/riding bikes a year ago. And I mean MANY.

Which one, the manual? You best get those torque wrenches. If it's a fluid holding fastener or a fastener that holds on something important (caliper, wheel, etc)... then I always torque that shit to spec.

It's especially important with bikes because usually you're going with a steel fastener into an aluminum thread... undertorque, and it'll loosen up; overtorque, well,... see above pics

The best lessons learned and not forgotten are the ones you do yourself. It sucks but is the way it is.

Nope. The ft/lb torque wrench. Haven't gotten a in/lb one yet, and there is no service manual for my bike yet.

Got your text. I want pics of said flames shooting out the exhaust (I don't have the slightest doubt they are).
