This is what I think since there does not seem to be a setting in the book

90 in lbs or about 10 Newton metres for clutch spring bolts

0.90kg.m or 78in.lbs

90Lbs.in. sounds a bit too tight to me, I'd say 69Lbs.in. would be more like it. The Kawasaki Maunal doesn't give a specific torque figure for these six bolts so they would come under the "general" torque figures, which for a standard M6 thread are between 54 - 78Lbs.in.

Table 2, page 132 of Clymer Manual.

Don't doubt it Z.O.A. & my information is from the Genuine Kawasaki workshop manual for the Z1/A/B/Z900.
Who's right ?

I would safely go with that answer too in the absence of solid figures, have done in the past, the "white knuckle" rule, haha.
