TOPIC:

Hope somebody can help. I'm building an 81 GPZ1100 with ZRX1100 forks,triple clamp,swingarm,shocks,front and rear brakes,and front and rear wheels.
Long story short - I dont want to buy a ZRX manual just to get the specified bolt torques for all this stuff. Can anybody shoot me the torques I need? Thanks.

Metric Bolts
Maximum Torque, in foot-pounds, for clean, dry threads
Check your Shop Manual ! Bolt size Low Grade Grade 8.8 Grade 10.9 Grade 12.9
6mm 3-5 7 10 12
8mm 8-12 17 24 29
10mm 15-22 33 47 57
12mm 39 59 83 100
14mm 60 101 131 158
16mm 60-94 146 202 247
18mm 60-130 201 283 340
20mm 166-188 285 401 482

Sorry chart did not paste over very well. There is a plethora of info on net about bolt torque and grades. Look for markings on bolt head to determine grade of bolt. I would bet that a similiar sized bolt on a KZ has the same torque specs as a newer ZRX.

Barney...I sent You a u2u,bud.
I'll see if I have those specs for You...

Here You go,Bud...rather than Me e-mailing them to You...I found the link after digging around...download the whole thing while You're at it,because it WILL come in handy.
The pages were scanned out of an actual manual,and You can see through some of the pages,but they ARE legible.
