Torque values

[217don]

Is there a chart showing the torque values for a 1983 R100 RS? Especially the oil pan and gearbox’s drain plugs.

Snowbum has a collection of torque values here:

https://bmwmotorcycletech.info/torquevalues.htm

He lists oil pan bolts at 6.5-8 ft-lbs. For these, I usually use a nut-driver with a 10mm socket on the end...a little hard to over torque something like that.

One of our members offered up this list based upon his experience and discussions with others. It is specific to his model, though.

Might be a good idea to invest in the Haynes manual if you're going to work on these things. It's really useful.

Oak always referred to these manuals as "kindling"! It would be best to invest in more than one as there are errors, even in BMW's manuals. Use multiple sources to verify the torques...even use internet sources as well.

I've got both Haynes and Clymer, along with all the internet resources, which makes things pretty easy. I really like watching the guys at Plam. they know what's up.

oil pan and gearbox’s drain plugs.

the most interesting oil pan bolt in the front most on right / side ... under the forward oil filter cover screw

On this 78 , that one a through hole into the crankcase , all the others are blind. Seeping is possible

Sealer often used
