Oil drain torque setting

Post by PJBrendel »

OK so I foolishly overfilled the already overfilled oil. I am going drain some but is was also going to get a torque wrench to retighten and was wondering if there is a torque setting for the oil plug and other bolts on the bike.

Thanks

Paul

32Nm torque for the oil drain plug. Do a Google search for 'BMW R1150R manual' and you will be able to download a PDF workshop manual that gives all torque settings and much more

presumably that's with a FRESH crush washer?? Sounds a bit high to me tbh.

If you overfill like that, you can also "suck" some out with a MityVac tool through the fill opening.
