Engine and Drivetrain Torque
Oil changes on the 2017 CRF50F are the most frequent maintenance task and the most common opportunity for drain plug damage. The drain plug on this small aluminum engine should be started entirely by hand before any tool is used—thread engagement by hand prevents cross-threading that a wrench-forced start can cause in soft aluminum. Once hand-tight, apply torque wrench to the specified value only.
