I'd be inclined to go with the manufacturer's spec. After all it's their ass if they're wrong. In fact, it seems to me with a service procedure that effects drivability directly not to mention your personal safety you'd pretty much want to stick with the manufacturer's recommendations. I sure would. Regards, Henry S. Winokur 94 GTS1000, AMA, MRF, Nationally Certified Riding Instructor Columbia, MD Ride for Kids Task Force West Bethesda, MD USA
