From my factory 78 KZ650 B manual.
Oil filter bolt..... 13 to 16 foot lbs.
Drain plug......... 19.5 to 24 foot lbs.
Spark plugs ..... 18.5 to 22 foot lbs......... I till just lately always went by hand and have found out (by double checking with the wrench) that I went a good 15-20% less than the min on all 3 and they seemed plenty tight...... personally I will probably still go a little less on them but am not recommending this to others...... just sayin.

I go by hand. On 30-40 year old bikes, the specs can no longer apply. Just remember, righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. Use a 6 point socket that fits tight and if it won't come off, find out why.

I agree with Steve,just do it by hand. Both the plugs and the drain bolt have sealing washers on them,so as long as you tighten them down,enough to crush the washers a bit, you should be Ok.

Spark plug threads are easy to cross thread. Be careful. If they won't go in easy, back them out and start again until they do.
