If you have a socket and a torque wrench, 12 lb-ft is the correct torque. Otherwise, 3/4 of a turn after the filter starts to seat will get you close. I already have the torque wrench out during oil changes to do the drain plug, so why not use it?
Had an '03 ST1300 ABS that I bought in '06. Had it for 7 years and 101k mi. Was ready to buy a new bike. Wanted several improvements:
1. Lighter weight
2. Less heat from the engine while riding.
3. Cruise control
4. Better suspension, esp in the front. Stock springs are too weak, damping too...
Update- already found someone.
Since Allen and I were rooming together, I now have a room to share if anyone is interested.

2014 Red Yamaha FJR 1300 ES for sale. Most reliable, most fun to ride of all road bikes I have owned. Selling only because I just purchased a new 2016 FJR ES. No electrical or mechanical issues, runs like new. Have full documentation of all mods and service work done...
Would be glad to room with you, Allen. Haven't seen you for quite a while and it will be fun to catch up!
Are you arriving Thursday? Since you'd be coming from Indy, you could meet me in Dayton and ride a fun backroads route over to Marietta with me.
Please confirm and I will cancel my own...

Went to a lot of MSTA rallies, out west twice, averaged about 70 days per year on the road. Been riding over 50 years on 15 different road bikes. Never had one that could cover miles in comfort and run with no problems like this one. Only reason for selling: Have a new 2016 ES sitting in the...
Tried it and found the interface to be a little difficult to get it to connect. AFAIK, it doesn't try to go back and forth between cel data and BT. There are lots of places outside of cities and interstates where there's no signal and it doesn't work. IMHO, as long as you're within sight of each...

+1 on the canyon cages/sliders etc not preventing a rollover that breaks the mirror subframe. I've got that problem from a tipover a few weeks ago. I broke the other side about a year ago when a cager knocked my '14 GenIII over. You can't win.
Cager's insurance paid last year and a shop did the...
Had a good time, met a lot of great people.
Friday weather was perfect. Special thanks to Prestone for being my eyes and ears back in the pack via intercom. We had a large group of 8 riders on our ride Friday, only two were people I'd ridden with before. No slow riders, and the only hot dogs...
