      If you want inexpensive, Harbor Freight has Tool Disposal Sale right now and has one cheap.

      1/2 " Drive micro adjust torque wrench 19.99 00239-1YEA + 8.99 shipping.

      You'll get top quality stuff from craftsman, but pay a lot more.

          I would really recommend buying two torque wrenches. If you only get one, get a small one that delivers from 0 to 200 inch-pounds. There are lots of fasteners on an XS11 that need low torque to prevent stripping steel threads out of aluminum. If budget permits, then also get a larger wrench that will deliver 0 to 150 foot-pounds.

            Thanks for the info Ken. I was kinda wondering about that.

            BTW, I have another open post about low compression on my #2 cylinder. It was recommended that I check valve clearances. I have not done this before. Does anyone have a sort of photo record of the procedure on this forum? There's nothing like pics to help with the learning curve.
