Torque Specs - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Does anyone know what the torque specs for the header gaskets on a C50/M50? I don't want to tighten them down TOO much, or TOO little!

I am having a problem with the way my bike runs - WAY too rich. Reading another post gave me the idea that how tight they are might be my main problem.

Thank you in advance!

The amount of tighting or lack there of will have no effect on how you engine runs be it lean or rich. That is purely a funtion of the carburation or Fuel injection. New pipes will need rejetting or redailing in if its FI.

if you mean the exhaust pipe clamp bolts they are 16.5 lb-ft, if you mean the cyl head cover bolts, the 6mm bolts are 7 lb-ft, the 8 mm bolts are 18 lb-ft.....
