    Haynes won't do one yet, the model is far to new. As for the owners manual, I presume you mean the booklet they gave you with the bike that has no useful information in it? What you need is the Honda Workshop manual. It should be available as an orderable part but remember to take a seat before you ask for the price. [/quote]

    Take a seat? I'll probably need gas & air too in that case!! ;D ;D

    Dan, it looked like they gave them a little clean up I think, from what I saw...around the piston but nothing full on

    I have workshop manuals for both of my bikes and they are worth every penny - much better than Haynes or Clymer. The hardbound book version cost me £100, the latest one for the GS on DVD was £50 so not cheap but you can rely on the info.

    Thank Snowy! I don't think I'd be inclined to spend that much as I doubt I'll have this bike for much more than a year 1/2 or so... seems to be my reoccurring problem with daily life :/

    On my bike (gixxer) they are 23 NM (17 lb ft) - don't know what it would be for your bike though.
    (Straight from my memory & Haynes manual)

    Google what you need - someone might have had the same question on another forum.
    Look at the manufacturers website (sometimes the manual might be available on-line only)

    Tell me the bolt size and the material you are threading into and I can tell you the torque.
