JOKER7370 Posted October 19, 2005 i just got an 05' dr-z 400sm. i'm coming up on my first oil change and the owners manual does'nt state the appropriate torque for the sump drain plug or the frame drain plug. can anyone with an 05' sm help a fellow drz rider. btw, i love the bike!

mph9146 Posted October 19, 2005 Joker, in what part of LA do you live? Were you the one that bought that SM from D&L powersports? I'm also looking for the same info regarding the drain plugs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JOKER7370 Posted October 19, 2005 it was shipped in. got it from lightspeed motorsports in gonzales, LA. they had to trade a hayabusa to d & L for the bike i believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jha07 Posted October 19, 2005 I never use a torque wrench for drain plugs. I just tighten it till it feels right. If I had to guess, it's probably something like 18-20 lbs ft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bhmadsen Posted October 19, 2005 Frame 13, engine 15 (lb-ft) or 18/21 Nm for the metric folks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
