JMP torque wrench

JMP offers this torque wrench. Every important bolt on the bike has a tightening torque, a force given in Nm in the workshop manual.

Why a torque wrench?

The benefits:

• Click-type wrench: a clear click at the set torque, simple and robust; an electronic wrench displays the value and can also measure angle tightening.
• Different ranges depending on size: a small wrench for crankcase bolts and the spark plug, a large one for wheel spindles and sprocket nuts.
• Depending on the model, reversible ratchet or interchangeable heads: you can also tighten left-hand threads or in tight spots.

Why choose JMP?

JMP stands for Johannes Matthies Products, the brand of the Matthies wholesale company, founded in Hamburg more than 80 years ago, which supplies tools, workshop equipment, wear parts and spares to the vehicle trade. Sold notably by the German specialist Louis, the JMP range covers many motorcycles as an alternative to original parts.

When should you replace this tool?

A wrench that has been dropped, a less distinct click, a setting that sticks or a torque that seems wrong: have it checked and recalibrated; as a precaution, regular checks (about once a year or depending on use) keep tightening accurate.

Specifications and fitting tips

Cross-Mania tip: Choose a wrench whose range covers your torque values without working at the extremes, pull slowly and steadily on the handle until it clicks and, on a click-type wrench, wind the setting back to the bottom of the range after use.
