Cam bearing cap bolt torque settings, I think I read somewhere the torque settings in the book were not correct?
Is this right, what should they be?

steve,

it depends on the bike. The Z900s are lower.

Hi Chris,
Its a z1a with 1015 barrels and head , Now bored out to 1075 :twisted:

So I guess its the figures for a z1000 that would be appropriate!

I have always gone with 7ft/lbs as per Z900 recommended settings. Cannot see why/if there is a differance between Z900 and Z1000.

69in/lbs will suffice.
