hi there,
i replaced the header bolts with fuji lock nuts over the weekend. the first two were the most difficult ones, but once i figured out which tools I needed, the rest were easy. in this process, I removed the radiator to make room for my hands.
What are the torque numbers for the radiator mounting bolts (2 at the top, 1 at the bottom)? (I cant find the hardcopy service manual that I have somewhere in the house. I found hte pdf version of zx14 manual, but it doesn't specify these bolts.)
my goal was to see if the header bolts affect the ticking sound around 3k rpm. the ticking seems to be gone from 3k to 1k now. i haven't put the fairings back yet, so the header bolts may not be the culprit. maybe I need to convince myself that the ticking is normal -
thanks,
