Torque Wrench

You have answered your question. Get another Norbar! tti50 8Nm -50Nm
I worked calibrating torque wrenches for aircraft industry. They are my recommended brand

 

For those new to Norbar wrenches.

 

Hi there,
Can I ask in your experience what range (or wrench itself) would be the best for general triumph repairs? In this instance I’m about to remove the engine and replace the head gasket +/- other works. I’ve never owned a decent torque wrench so will be buying it specifically for motorbike maintenance/repairs.

 

For motorcycles
I would look at getting 2 TTi50 8-50Nm
And TTi150 30-150Nm.
That would cover all you will ever need
Remember triumph give 3 stage head torque. 2 torque settings then 90°

 

Thank you so much for that prompt reply, truly appreciated!
Two wrenches it is, then!
Have a great evening.

 

Check Ebay. You may find best prices there. Tti50 I would go 3/8 drive.
Always store at minimum setting and NEVER use to loosen nuts/bolts

 

Brilliant...I’ve had a quick look around and found this one at a snip...will be ordering as soon as I get in. Many thanks again for all your help and advice!

That's a good price

 

£88.00 delivered and...DONE!

 

Cheers for that! Really looking forward to it arriving.
Just downloaded the Owner’s Manual and discovered a number of the bolts are bolted at 9nm, some even less...will need a smaller one too.

 

The tti50 I believe has a min of 8Nm. So 9Nm should be covered. 9Nm is usually for case bolts etc. Common sense plays a big part too.
Just looking through specs I seen some list 8-50 and others 10-50
If you want less tti 20.
