I have a dual plugged '04 1150 GS and was about to replace my plugs. I have two questions.

1) What is the correct torque on the intake and exhaust plugs? The Haynes manual says 25 N-m for both, the BMW plug boxes state 30 N-m on intake plug and 17 N-m on the exhaust plug and the Clymer manual says 20 N-m.

2) I am using the OEM NGK and Bosch plugs, which are both are dual electrode plugs. The Bosch instructions say never gap a dual or triple electrode plug. So do I check the gaps or just screw them in?

2) yeah, just put them in with anti-seize, good to go.
1) never used a torque wrench on a spark plug, I just bring it to "snug". but that's jsut me.
