I am trying to rebuild a friends engine and all I can find is info on 4 cyl 750s. I am finding parts, just not a manual. can I use the info in my 4 cyl manual like torque specs and such?

You ought to be able to find a manual on ebbaayy.
A few are currently listed... one is real cheap & probably won't go too high.

I've got a manual. I'll scan the appropriate pages. What else will you need?

No, but I got a CD ROM manual for the 750 twins off ebay for $6 a while back.

I really wouldn't try building the engine up without the manual, it shows a lot of little things you need to know like where the O rings go and how to manipulate the cam chain guide.

Here are the pages from the factory manual that address fastener torques.

PDF's not allowed. Working on it!

Later: I've got what you need. my email address is: kzcsi@yahoo.com send me an email and I'll send you a PDF with all the torques you're needing.

Good Luck
