Stainless Bolt kit - Help!
Went to the NEC on Sunday and after a few jars bought a high-level carbon scorpion can.
 Unfortunately they had no stock left so I'm left waiting.  Anyway, yesterday I used the day I'd booked off to fit the stainless bolt kit I got from Chewy instead of a new can. My question is, what's the damage done by overtightening bolts? I only found the torque settings today and am fairly sure I've overdone it.  Should I loosen them off again? Also, some of them should, according to the service manual here http://www.sv650.org/sv_manuals.htm have threadlock applied rather than copper grease. Can I just add threadlock as I don't reckon getting copper grease out of a threaded hole can be too easy?! Cheers all! |

Yes - buy a set of hex heads to attach to your torque wrench. a bit like a male version of a female socket ..

You can get allen key heads that fit the drive on the torque wrench.
Like so:

Hmmm, I need another torque wrench, mine's 40 - 200 N-m.
'As much use as a bottle of chips', as they say.  Any suggestions for accurate but affordable examples?

I don't have my haynes manual to hand, but those sound wildly off... 10nm's not very tight at all. But I cpould be wrong.
Anyway, overtorqued bolts, the real danger is damaging the thread, shearing the bolts, or damaging the gasket if there's a gasket involved. So if it turns out those figures are right, the damage is probably already done... But I'd back the bolts off slightly anywya, since if they get stuck- ie corroded or gunked- while extremely tight, they'll be far harder to get back out.

I couldn't find the settings in Haynes, resorted to the service manuals on here. 10 doesn't sound like much I agree!
