Anyone know what the Torque Specs are for the engine oil drain plugs?

On a 2014 1330 , does anyone know what the toque specs are on the engine oil drain plugs, and which one is considered the transmission plug? The one on the left side as you are sitting on bike?

Hi Steve,
Torque specs are for DRY bolts. 15 Ft lbs; having said this I have heard of others stripping when torqueing oil pan drain bolts. Use a 3/8's drive socket, place the head of the ratchet in the palm of your hand, using two fingers on the shaft of the wrench to tighten. Do NOT apply tightening force at the end of the ratchet handle.

And yes I believe that the one on the left when seated is the transmission plug.

NO! The plug on the left is the Oil Sump, aka crankcase plug, and is a Torx T45 bit; the plug on the right is the Clutch Cover, aka transmission plug, is a 6mm Allen if the engine has OEM plugs. The torque specs, whether one uses them or not are Oil Sump 21 lbft, +/- 1 lbft; Clutch Cover 15 lbft +/- 1 lbft.

Thanks guys. I remember that I have a shop manual on DVD, and it is what you said 21 sump, and 15 trans side.

Snugged up, then one more bump of the heel of your hand. LOL.....Sorry, couldn't resist. I've never used a torque wrench on anything, but then again I've been wrenching on stuff for 50 yrs.
