I might be in on one of them, bike is still running crap so I'm waiting on one of those tools for measuring gaps in valve shims and spark plugs, don't have a torque wrench that goes as low as 4ft/lb either so I want to get that sorted quick.

4ft/lb? thats is really low. So much I wouldn't bother with a torqure wrench with. What is it for?

It's for the spark plug, Haynes manual days to just do it hand tight then 1/4 turn with a wrench

Just do the spark plug as Haynes says, its how I do them.

Listen to this man Lewis. 4ft/lbs is probably harder to do with a torque wrench than by hand because its nothing. Also, I have a spark plug gap tool I'll gladly lend you if I see you on the weekend or if you want to come round and get it on Thursday.

Gap tool is called feeler gauge btw.

That's what I've got.

Just read that you can get an extra 1% power by indexing the plugs.
