Title: torque specs
Post by: supermotard500 on October 02, 2003, 02:52:09 AM

Hey guys,

I need the tightening specs for the '88 kx500.

Especially the rear suspension linkage, the complete engine and the front suspension...ok, just everything :wink:

A service manual is hard to get here, kawa doesn't sell it anymore. I ordered "Clymer Kawasaki Kx125 & Kx250 1982-1991; Kx500 1983-1993" at Amazon. Is this book usefull?

Greets from Europe, sorry for my english

Your english is fine, nothing to worry about there. Our FAQ section has some of those specs in it already but I'm sure we can round up the rest of those for shortly.

Thanks, I just found it. What about the cylinder base nuts?

A few years ago, I spent some days at Tucson and Phoenix. I remember, how hard we tried to get a ticket for the Phoenix Suns. Without success, so we went to a nice restaurant and I tasted the best lobster ever.
I think Tucson is a favourite spot for desert riding. Hmmm, i loved the landscape there. Maybe I'll be back in a few years for a study exchange.
