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):D

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.

So you carry a troque wrench in your tool bag too... ??? :D

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.
