I assume you mean the main bolts that hold down the cylinder head? I was surprised to find that in the chassis forum.

I don't have the KZ 1000 manual, but my KZ750 has the spec of 27 - 30 ft-lbs, which is about 325 - 360 inch-pounds. I can't imagine that spec would change because you install a different model head.
