The smaller magnetic clutch cover plug with just the crush washer (no O-rings), using a 6mm hex wrench, is on the right side of the frame, not the left.
When I removed the clutch cover drain plug, it took a lot of force to break it loose. But the torque spec for reinserting it is only 15 ft-lbs. Doesn't seem like enough torque to seat the washer properly.
So, before I refill with the new oil and bring the bike back down off the jacks, can someone confirm for me that 15 ft-lbs for the clutch housing plug and 21 ft-lbs for the engine sump plug are correct?
Thanks.
That is the correct tension settings as your quote
