Torque specs for spark plugs.

What is the torque specs for my 2000 GS-300 when installing the spark plugs, I always use correct torque specs on spark plugs in fear of snapping one off in the engine block. Thanks.

~15ftlbs is good enough. Most torque wrench will have some kind of margin of error.

Manual says 13ft/lbs for my 93 sc300 so I would think around what GSteg mentioned would be good.
