Oil Filter in Frame - Torque Setting
 

Hi,

Can someone please confirm that the Oil Filter which is screwed into the frame on the XT600E (2002) is tightened to 90 Nm. This is taken from a Brazilian manual so I am unsure of the translation.

Anyone know where I can get a 2002 XT600E manual from in PDF format. I am using both a TT600 and the Brazilian XT600E mentioned above. Would be nice to not have to keep cross referencing.

Thanks.

All I've got is an old manual for a XT550. The oil strainer that screws into the frame downpipe is torqued up to 90Nm or 65ft/lb

My '94 XT600E has a filter that resides under a 3-screw cover - not spin-on. General guidance for spin-on oil filters is 1/4 turn past "hand tight". This has worked for me with all automotive spin-on oil filters.:thumbup1:

Never mind - closer exam of original question looks like you are looking for the torque value of the oil strainer at the bottom of the frame, not the paper oil filter.

Thanks for the info, 90Nm seemed ok, no cracked frame !!

Yes - that is the correct torque value for the oil strainer that threads into the bottom of the frame down tube.

I ordered my Yamaha service manual directly from a Yamaha dealer (I think it was around $65 USD). I would think you could do the same. It's paper (not PDF) but it has all the detail info you would need.
