• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

630 oil drain plug's torque.

I noticed this on my 630 and I think it could be the same for the 610. There are two drain plugs under the motor. In the 2011 TE-SM 630 shop manual the smaller one calls for 18 ft.lbs. on page D.10 with the photos of the oil change procedure and the text only torque figures on page X.3. The larger plug calls for 44 ft.lbs on the page with the pics but 22 ft.lbs. in the torque listings. 44 ft.lbs. sounded way to much so I went with the lower 22 ft.lbs. setting.

What is the proper torque?
 
Those numbers are what I've found. I don't torque them though. I snug them up fairly tight. As long as they don't leak or back out, you're golden.
 
I have the worshop manual for the bike, and it says : Refit drain plugs M14 plug : 24 Nm/ 2.45 Kgm/ 18.1 ft-lb; M22 plug : 60
Nm/ 6.1 Kgm/ 44 ft-lb)
So i guess it is right.
I work as a Volvo truck mechanic, and we fit the drain plugs in the oil sump with 60nm. on the oil pans that are made of composite material. They are about the same size as the large drain plug on the SM630.
