    KR150 cylinder head torque settings?

    Does anyone know the correct torque settings for the cylinder head bolts on a Kawasaki KR150a watercooled 2 stroke? I've searched the web for hours and still this info has evaded me.

    I've had the head off my KR's a few times, and found 'Firm' to be just right when doing them up.
    By that I mean - It's only a single cylinder two stroke. It's not critical to have the bolts at a specific torque as it might be on a four cylinder machine. I've not had any issues as a result of the 'that feels about right' approach.
    Just tighten bolts opposite each other, not going round in a circle if that makes sense.
    Not a lot of info to go by online on the KR150, so, learn as we go it seems.
    Cheers.

    The head studs on my RD350LC are 18 ft/lb . 8mm studs , water cooled two stroke. your KR will be the same (ish)

    I dont use the torque wrench on them now, Like racey says , firm and even and you will be right. Firm feels like 18ft/lb
