Howdy folks, I just buttoned up my KLR after a valve check the other day and I noticed the maintenance schedule in the manual calls for checking the torque on the head bolts at 6000 miles. Of course I noticed this after she was all put back together. Has anyone ever checked the torque on theirs? Were there any problems? I am inclined to just say the heck with it, and I will do just that unless one of the collective checked theirs and needed to re-torque them. CA Stu <-- playing the percentages
