Hey guys,
This is my first post on this awesome forum, and it's a technical question: anyone know the torque spec to the Monster 796's oil mesh filter drain plug?
More details below. Hope someone can help!

Details: I'm changing the oil on my 2013 Monster 796, and I realize I don't have the torque spec mentioned above. What's funny is that no one ever talks about it, not even the service manual.
Remember that there are two drain plugs in the oil sump: the main magnetic one located in the center of the sump (5mm hex), and the second one off to the side that drains the oil from the mesh filter (6mm hex). It's the latter's torque value I'd like to know. For completeness, here are the other torque values usually associated with an oil change:

- Main drain plug: 20 Nm (not 42 Nm!)
- Oil mesh filter: 42 Nm
- Oil mesh filter housing plug: 42 Nm
- Oil filter: 11 Nm (Or whatever hand-tight method you prefer.)
