      No probs, yes I have subscribed. As an amateur mechanic I enjoy these sorts of vids. Look forward to your next one.

    You seem like an actual mechanic. I am hoping merely buying a torque wrench and ensuring spec on my motorcycle rear tire won't throw it out of alignment. Maybe I should wait until winter storage and take it to the shop.

    • @TheMotorcycleBoss
      @TheMotorcycleBoss  2 года назад +1

      As long as the tire is aligned before torqing it you should be fine. What exactly is your concern?

      @@TheMotorcycleBoss I am not sure. I just know that loosening and tightening axle nuts isn't something I am comfortable with but maybe it's ok. The last time I dealt with a mechanic it was far away and they messed up my bike.

      @@Cog-pd3qn that is horrible. Better to do it yourself anyway. As long as the wheel is aligned and all the spacers & washers are in order & you used a calibrated torque wrench, you should be perfectly fine

    What is the torque range by Nm on the craftsman wrench?

    • @TheMotorcycleBoss

      popitn2nd Im not home right now but i will try to remember to let you know. You can google an in-lbs to nm conversion get the range.

    Which torque wrench do you use for brake calipers?

    • @TheMotorcycleBoss
      @TheMotorcycleBoss  6 лет назад +1

      popitn2nd depends on the torque spec required. Anything under 20ft-lbs, i use the craftsman wrench. Anything over 19ft-lbs, i use the kobalt. Reason is the minimum range of the kobalt is 20ft-lbs and the craftsman one can handle 20ft-lbs and lower.

    • @popitn2nd
      @popitn2nd 6 лет назад

      The Motorcycle Boss Great! Thanks for the quick reply. I only have the kobalt torque wrench. I needed to torque my gsxr calipers to 18ft-lbs. i went 2 click down from the minimum 20ft-lbs setting. But i'm not sure if this is fine. Anyway, i guess the craftsman is definitely need for easy torqs! Thanks!

      popitn2nd Torque wrenches are most accurate normally near the middle of their adjustment range. For instance; 20-100ft-lbs =60ft-lbs most accurate. They begin to get more innacurate on the far ends of the spectrum. Because of this innacuracy, manufacturers cannot guarantee the accuracy of the wrench beyond the points specified on the wrench especially when the tool ages and undergoes use. Torque wrenches are very tempermental pieces of equipment and can easily make or brake your projects. They must stay calibrated meticulously and going over or under the specified settings "can" throw off your calibration and start to show improper torques. Doing what you did maybe fine for now but there is no certainty that your torques are correct although they probably are. Better off getting a torque wrench that can perform the torques correctly to be sure not to ruin a project (especially on brakes) and if possible, get your torque wrench calibrated every year or so, and store it at the proper torque setting indicated in your manual. Wish you the best bro.

    all these cheap torque wrenches are made in china (allegedly in Taiwan "scam")
