Oil Level Window O-ring Leak / Bolt Torque

[BumbleBerry]

Hello everyone,
There's a leak at the oil level window, and the O-ring (part no: 91301-679-003) most likely needs to be changed.
I couldn't find the torque setting for the bolts (part no: 9571-06025-00) which are 6x25 mm.
Much appreciate your help.

IIRC, you have to go by the 'standard torque' when a specific one is not given.

That’s sounds like a pain- I assume the oil pan has to be removed to get to that…and the headers need to be taken off or loosened as well.

If you remove the headers from the cylinder heads, you will need new copper o-ring type gaskets. Go easy on loosening the nuts that hold the headers on and be careful torquing them. I tend to put aunt seize on everything...if you do reduce the torque spec 15 to 20%.

Nope - not on the ST1100.
Two bolts and it comes right off - BTDT.

^^ Good to know in case I ever encounter the same thing- thank you!!!

Thanks very much Uncle Phil. I shall document and post the process here, possibly soon.
By the way, is that Nm, ft-lb, inch-lb? I am guessing Nm, since you are advising the fellows above the 49th parallel?

FT-LB - The header was on the other page.
What is this Nm you speak of?

there you go (before we wreck another space-probe...)
