    Setting valve cam timing on wethead

    Need to adjust valve cam timing on my 2018 R1200. I have proper tools but my question is how to properly loosen bolts holding gear to cam. I don’t feel TDC tool is made to handle torque needed to break bolts loose. Do it with cams removed from bike?

    Give me your torque wrench recommendations

    Best torque wrench?

    If you had to limit yourself to one torque wrench to service your 2007 R1200RT which tool brand and model/size would it be? My daughter gave me a "promise to purchase" card for Christmas and this is the one tool I have never moved to obtain on my own. I realize having two wrenches of different...
