[quote author=Tector link=topic=57034.msg121433#msg121433 date=1602366770]
Just under 2 weeks ago I bought my second Drifter 1500-- 1999, great shape.  The prior owner (owner #2) said that he didn't know when the last time was that anything had been done for maintenance, except for an oil change "2 or 3 years ago".  So it is currently standing upright in a wheel chock in my garage, with the oil and final drive oil and coolant all drained.  I don't yet have a service manual for this bike (just ordered one off eBay), but I'd like to get the bike buttoned up and back on the road in the next few days.  So I'm hoping someone can tell me the torque settings for:

A:  the oil drain plug

B:  the oil fill plug (or maybe there's no specified setting, as this is not critical)

C:  the bolt for the oil screen (at the bottom of the crankcase on the left side of the bike)

D:  the oil filter

E:  the final drive oil drain plug

F:  the final drive oil fill plug (again, not critical, might not be specified)

G:  the coolant drain plug at the bottom of the radiator

H:  the coolant drain plug at the bottom of the water pump (on the right side of the engine)

In addition, I know I need a new crush washer when putting the oil drain plug and the final drive oil drain plug back on the bike.  I don't think I need to replace the washers, gaskets, whatever, for any of the rest of the above, but if I'm wrong please set me straight.

Thanks.
