Eric.

Dont think there wrong just my wrench only goes to 50 lbs/in so wont be able to use my 1/4 drive tourqe wrench any way.



The Nm values are a staggering 860-1300 in/lbs approx :shock:

Someone here once asked the difference between and engineer and a fitter. Well this, but not all of course, is a prime example. An engineer knows if something looks wrong, like these numbers, and a fitter just fits an item. This can be how problems start. Like changing out parts to solve a fault, it does not fix it and they expect you to pay the huge bill.

This sort of thing is "not on" IMO but is very common with, to some extent, all of the car/bike dealers today. It is one of the reasons I have always thought a dealer service history is not worth, mostly, the paper its written on.

Is he talking about me again? I was only trying to help. I'm not an engineer or a fitter just a humble Dealer Principal who doesn't know an nM from an ohm from an M&M lOl I have some very good people to do that type of thing for me but I am fairly handy at locating information :?

Not at all, your Dealership is deffo one of the 'good guys' and I'm sure your Workshop folk are well aware of a calibrated 'Nip' for screws like that 8-)

Anyway, a Nm and an Ohm don't get sticky in your pocket like a m+m does, so it's quite easy to tell the difference lOl

I would say that BB are one of the stars of the UK BUELL dealer network. I do not recall a bad word said about BBs service. The thing is you, like Matt (at Trojan) and Maz, back your service/product in a public forum. In other words you could have a great deal to lose if it fecks up. Not many these days have the balls to do that.

Sorry GM not a Tech thing now ;).
