Drain Plug Torque 04-06 R1

So I looked around here for a good few minutes (okay more like 2 seconds) and I couldn't find what torque setting is called for on the oil drain plug? I'm guessing around 30 ft lbs? btw its for an 04 R1

Ok cool. I actually just saw this post after torquing her down to 31 lbs. Thanks alot guys. P.S.- Do you guys just tighten the filter by hand? I noticed there isn't much clearance between the top of the oil filter and #1 cyl. header tube so it makes getting a torque wrench in there difficult.

I only hand tighten my oil filter. Make sure you snug it up well though. It takes a few turns to crush the rubber seal and get a good connection. A helpful trick is to use one of those rubber jar-openers to get a good grip. Don't forget to check for leaks after you finish the job. A good trick

I recall it being around 30ft.lbs

I recall it being around 30ft.lbs Yeah we figured it out its 31 ft lbs (just like the R6). Damn nice bike by the way....I love that paint scheme
