Main stud torque

Hi, would someone help me out on this, I am installing a set of used APE main studs with nuts into a kz 1000. My question is what do I set the torque at? Thanks in advance

on the stock bolts i believe its around 18' pounds with a little oil on the threads.i cant remember for studs but i usually run the studs themselves in reasonably tight then torque the nuts,i dont torue the studs themselves.maybe give Apejay a call;)

Hey Thanks, I guess ask the wrong question, The toque on the main nuts is what I need to know, They are APE used studs and nuts.also I need rigs for weisco 1075 pistons I think x rings. Help APE JAY. Thanks

found some old notes ,20'lbs

Don't think X rings are available qanymore. Can you measure the thickness of the old rings?

Thanks Jay can you tell me the torque on the main studs an nuts these are used APE parts. Going to order rings very soon do you have a part number for the rings. Thanks

I posted a link above. We have a pretty good tech page on our site.

hmmm... for some reason I thought it was higher than 20... well today I put my kz650 together and they're tightened to 70ft/lbs... I guess I must be lucky that they held up lol.
