Lost my service manual

Hello everyone. As the title suggests I misplaced my clymer manual for my xs2. Could anyone here please supply me with torque specs for the drain plugs and other bolts related to an oil change. Also spark plug torque specs. Thanks !!

Thanks for the replies. I found my service manual this afternoon so all is well!

I never use a torque wrench on the drain bolts. I guess I just have a "feel" for how tight they need to be. Doing it by hand like this also lets me judge the extent of wear on the crush washer so I know when I need to replace it. I can usually get 3 or 4 uses out of one before it's totally crushed and needs to be replaced.

Why wouldn't you just anneal it rather than replace it? It is copper after ll.

It's a crush washer like on spark plugs, not a solid copper washer. Once it's all crushed, it's done.
