Kip,
In the HOW(Hall of Wisdom) there is a post with pages of all the torque settings on the LT. I use the Clymer book but the torque list is kept handy so I do not have to go all over the book.
Enjoy!

First, you might want to start reading Here, in the HOW (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/faq.php?faq=how_troubleshooting#faq_how_faq_tssusp), then you should seriously consider getting a BMW Maintenance CD or the new Clymer's K-Bike book.

Next, you should read Kevin Cook's "Slave Cylinder Weep Hole Drilling Procedure" attached below. It has some great pictures and insight. Don't be misled by the title... to get to the Slave you need to remove the driveline behind it!

Those links and resources should get you going.

Best of luck, and there will be help available here should you need some specific questions addressed once you get into it.

I'd hope, after a year and a half since Kip's post, that he found sumpthin' to git the job done. ;)

KIP, you finished yet??? :confused:
