thats the problem. I was afraid of my torque wrench but needed to get home that night so bike had to run. I took of the tank and tightened them all down but until I get a torque wrench I can trust, I will baby it. this is such a learning experience. I get it in my head that I can do something no problem, but the reality doesn't live up to my imagination. BUT. I am learning and this is the perfect way to learn. denial and error...i mean trial and error (sorry too many trailer park boys episodes in my brain). But that being said, I wont get upset, its all water under the fridge.
