Cylinder head nuts - 28Nm (20 ft.-lb.)

Cylinder base nuts - 28Nm (20 ft.-lb.)

 

Torque them incrementally, 5, 10, 15, 20, operate the engine, then check the torque after the engine has completely cooled down. Check the torque again after the first ride as well, should be good after that with periodic inspection.

 

A manual is great for all the stupid stuff...

Put your socket wrench on there and tighten them a little bit all the way around, then a little bit more, then a little bit more, then on the last time when they go "snap" and spin freely you know you went to far. Don't go that far. :biggrin:

I always use the 'foot on the cylinder for more leverage' method myself... :ohmy:

Torque it down till it strips then back it of half a turn.
