    Can anyone recommend a decent torque wrench upto 30 nm , I’ve a norbar torque wrench for 30 nm up which is very easy to use, I’ve also a draper torque wrench that does 10 nm upto 80 I think but I don’t like using it as it’s awkward to set.

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

    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°

    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

    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.
