    81 650e Header bolt Torque specs?

    Anyone know what the torque specs are on the 650e ... 1981. Gonna try to get my pipe off my bike tomarrow and paint them. Just got the bike and haven't been able to get a repair manual yet.


    Thanks!

      I don't trust torque specs on non critical stuff. I just snug them up a little and leave it at that. It's too easy to strip threads. 7-11.5 lbs/ft is the spec though.

        Good point. Just didn't want to not tighten them up enough and have leaks.

          Make sure you soak those bolts in some wd40 or pb blaster!!

            And when you install it again use anti-sieze compound on the bolts.
