So, I just purchased a torque wrench to tighten my frame sliders to the correct spec. My question.... Is there a bit I need since the head of the bolt is for an allen wrench?
Thanks,
Nick

You also have to consider the 20% rule. If you have a torque wrench that covers 20-100 in-lbs you're not supposed to use the bottom or top 20% of it's range. In this case a 20 to 100 in-lb wrench should only be used for torques between 40 and 80 in-lbs. If I need to torque something to 100 in-lbs I have to select a wrench that is rated to at least 125 in-lbs.
While on the topic of torque wrenches, do you guys have a recommendation on a nice one to have for wrenching on the FZ?
I see a bunch of variation in torque specs and wonder what's a good compromise. This one is a bit pricey, but the 5-80 range seems to cover most basic repairs.
Any advice? Thanks!!

I purchased mine from an Autozone for 10 bucks, but I've seen them at menards for 7. Hopefully that helps.

a $10 torque wrench?
would you put $25 tires on your bike, or $3 frame sliders???
you get what you pay for I guess.....
I don't think everyone has to buy snap-on, but i recommend buying the best one you're budget can afford.

No, I would not put 25 dollar tires on my bike or 3 dollar sliders. I have pilot power 2ct's and motovation sliders, but I'll give a 10 dollar torque wrench a shot.
