    I am trying to find the torque setting of a bolt before I undo it. if I use a torque wrench and keep adjusting it until it stops clicking will this give me a accurate reading

    . Won’t it keep clicking because your technically tightening it?

    Is it on your speed twin? I've got a Haynes manual for it if that helps

    What bolt is it? If I couldn’t find the correct figure I would mark the nut or bolt and also what it tightens on to then count how many turns off, that way you can put it back as it was.
