Can anyone tell me what the mfg recommended torque is for my valve stems/valve caps?
And are they the same front to rear, or side to side?

Will it make any difference if I only take left hand turns?

btw, mine's an '03 so it dosent have reverse, (if that's relevent)

I'm asking this, now that I've got the air all properly rotated in my tires, and I'm just wondering if this thread can go 3 pages.

Holy smokes ! I can not belive that a simple question like how to change a sparkplug can turn into a 3 page arguement.

so how far can this question go ?????

i just checked my clymer and it says to torque them to 120 ft-lbs counter clock wise.

that depends what type of brake fluid you're using. :o

You should change them every other ride.
