KZ440 engine-to-frame torque specs was created by Michi
Hi, I know I've received a lot of help from this forum already and I don't want to put anyone out. However, now that my project is structurally all together (minus electrics, brakes, lights etc.) I would like to know the correct torque settings for the bolts and nuts attaching engine to frame. Also, the swinging arm torque setting. Always best to do it properly rather than just go by "tight plus threadlock". I have the Kawasaki service manual and the Haynes. However, the torque settings are not specified. I tend to under-torque nuts and bolts, in the fear of stripping them out, when I don't have the correct torque tension to hand. Where should I look? Thanks

 Take a look into the Kawasaki KZ 440 service manual, page 43 - 46. All infos you need are there listed.

Holy **** you're right. I missed them. Guess I got bored flicking these pages.

They are "Engine mounting bolts M10 - 4 kgm
Engine mounting bracket bolts (M8 all) - 2.5 kgm
Swingarm pivot shaft nut M14 - 9 kgm
