Exhaust torque

22 May 2013 15:49

Does anybody have the torque specs for header bolts? Found a small exhaust leak right at the header, but don't want to go too tight and break something. I looked through my FSM but didn't see the specs.

Thanks

Pending a better specific source for the '82 KZ750, the torque table in FSM for '77~79 KZ1000 says,
"less than 43 inch-lbs."

Good Fortune!

Thanks, Patton. After my post I found one of the nuts had vibrated off the holder. I thought I torqued it better than that. :ohmy: I'll take it out for a spin later. I'm sure that was the issue.
