Now that I have pruchased a FJR I want to buy some tools that I will need and was wondering what size torque wrench you use . 3/8 or 1/2 inch drive and also what the torque range should be ?

If you have any other suggestions as to what special tools I will need I would appreciate the advice.

thanks

mac

Geez...ask a guy what time it is and he links you to "how to build a watch". Those threads note some of the correct toolage to have. I have a trusty Sears 1/2" drive torque wrench if it matters.

Fine. You'll find little use for a 1/2' drive torquer, pretty much axle nuts only. You'll get a lot of mileage out of an inch pound 3/8 drive, the rest from a 3/8 pounder.

Must have, cuz FOTA is overt. Now, the Secret Collective of Reclusive Old Timers Association, you won't hear about them. They hang where the sun don't shine...and they're all dern near assholes.

Oh my, I just leaked a stream. Thanks, Ari.

I thought it was the Secret Collective of Reclusive Old Timers Union Managers. And they're not assholes, just close.

Need the 1/2 inch for the stem nut of 83ft lbs. and axel nuts. So I had to buy both 3/8 and 1/2 to do it all.
