URGENT- Torque for downpipes

Post by JamieNeve »

What Torque should the downpipes be where they connect on with two nuts per pipe on the cyclinder?

Cannot find the value in the manual!

Mine are finger tight, and the steel guides are all showing about 5mm on all the downpipes!

hmm its not is it.

the fzr 1000 is 12Nm...that will be fine, use lots of copper grease on the threads if you want to be able to get them off again in another 20 years :D

Fook off cargo, I was about to be teachers pet and get this one, outlet pipe mounting bolt 4.9N/m?????????

Torque setting is for an L, do not use it for the H, :smt009 setting is completely different.
Does the low seat height reflect the low intelligence? Easier to get an asshole onto.
