Torque wrench?

[Yager200i]

I've been looking all over for a good quality torque wrench that won't cost me an arm and a leg (I've seen torque wrenches that are over $1000.00!).

I'd prefer a beam wrench or dial wrench over the click-stop type torque wrenches.

I can't seem to find very many that are within the torque range we require, but I did find one. You'd have to do conversions to get the torque units right, but that's just math:

Grainger, Item #4RYK9
0-800 inch-pounds
$35.65

The Dink 200 service manual states that the lowest-torque bolt is .4 kg-m (about 34.7 inch pounds), and the highest is 9.0 kg-m (about 781 inch pounds). So, this torque wrench should work pretty well.

Anyone know of a better alternative to the torque wrench above?

As someone who learned the hard way almost 30 years ago (after breaking 2 oil cap studs on a new '82 Suzuki 650), I have 2 torque wrenches for working on my bikes. Both are Craftsman click types in FP and Inch lbs. Trust the clicks when they happen and all is well. I do almost all maintenance on my bikes (5) and have never stripped a bolt since. They are probably around $65 each at your Sears store.
