spin on torque and air filter

[keand3]

Anyone how remember the what torque to set on the Spin On adapter? Lost the instruction that came with it, and using the search function from my phone is not an option  

By the way, how often do you guys change your airfilters? Has the pods same interval as stock filter?

Cheers

I have always done this: Use a finger of engine oil on the gasket and twist on the filter until the gasket makes contact. Then turn 3/4 of a revolution more. You're done! I clean and oil my air filter (UNI pods) every oil change.

I missed that you were looking for the torque of the adapter, not the filter...

Thanks Mark!
Will be doing some simple maintenance on the bike to morrow morning before my testride to my new place of employment. Need to know how long the commute will take, and will be using the bike until it gets too cold...
