Default Torque specs question.

I'm going to look at the valves tomarrow and was wondering if someone could post the torque specs I may need. Planet KLX used to have a touque section in their tech-tips but its gone now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Valve clearance :
Intake: 0.10-0.19 mm
exhaust: 0.15-0.24mm

cylinder head cover bolts:
7.8Nm (0.8kg-m, 69 in/lbs)

if you adjust them, the camshaft cap bolt torque is : 12n-m (1.2kg-m, 8.5 in/lbs)

I think thats all you would need.

(just happen to have the service manual right here)

A while back I copied down most of the commonly used torque values that I use and printed them out using a tiny font, then laminated it into a little card that I keep in my tool bag. All the torque values are in the service manuals, but they are a lot more handy on that little laminated card.

Yeah the shops over here round-up the cover bolt torque to 1kg, but warn against going anywhere above that. REAL easy pull the threads in that soft aluminum head.

Sooo, my bike is in pieces in my friends shop. All the valves were at the tight endof the specs. I have the new shims that should put me right in the middle and will be installing them in the morning. I hope all goes well. Any advice would be appreciated.
