No Newton Metre on Torque Wrench

[danno]

Hi
The torque wrench I have has no Nm readings but some of my Haynes manuals only have this in the specs.
Choices on the wrench are:
100 inch/lbs
Ft/lbs
Kg/M

I think my BMW R60/6 manual has Ft/lbs but not the R1100RS one. Wheel nut settings are in
Nm.
Not sure what Vincent torque settings are measured in but looking at possibly getting a new torque wrench anyway.
No branding on the current one (pic) but it is old. Has a 1/2” reversible socket attachment.
Any ideas on good brands but not too pricey would be appreciated.

Vincent torque settings were as applied by the length of the spanner in the tool tray.

What's it for Dano,
If you tell us what setting you need ,
We might be able convert it to the tool you have ?,
Another thing is google Nm to foot lbs ?.
Cheers Bill.

9.81 Nm = 1 kp m

For the R1100RS rear wheel. Haynes states 105 Nm.
I googled the conversion and it’s equal to 77.4 ft/lbs.
Just seems a high adjustment on the wrench.

I think your threads will be stripped long before that.

Google is super.

But also in Google it says talk to the BMW owners Club , There was a problem with wheel nuts
in 2007 bikes, Maybe still talk to Bill Cannon ?.

Cannon BMW used to be in Braintree if I remember correctly.
It's a nice bike. Twenty years old but modern for me. Goes and stops.
Impressed with the Telelever front suspension. Zero dive under braking.

A little vibey around 3500/4000 rpm so
regular throttle body balancing is a good idea.
Also low speed engine hesitation that I've never been able to sort out.

I saw in a local dealer a few years ago R1100 s for £2500, Looked good,
Don't know how I got out of the shop !,
Bit worried about the low ish handle bars, For an Old Git like me .
