My mind has left me. Can't remember torque specs for e-tec triple 2006. I think it was 15 ft/lbs first then ??? I know I need to index them, done this many times just cant remember. Getting old is a drag.
The initial or minimum torque is 15 ft. lbs. with a maximum of 22 ft. lbs.
Some literature says a max of 30 ft lbs. but that is above what Champion Sparkplug recommends. The factory did use up to 30 ft. lbs in the past but that sometimes caused sparkplug breakage while trying to remove them for servicing.
Read the servicing note on the bottom of page 4 of the indexing instructions
