exhaust nut specs

[chief]

Yeah, I got one of those fancy tork you wrenches... but the damn thing breaks loose everytime I try to tighten something down... I guess I need to turn that knob all the way up...

And all this time I thought they were supposed to be "gootentight"

Well its an 8mm which Kaw says takes 10-13.5 ft/lbs. The 900 manual says 12ft/lbs (drifter manual doesn't list) and  I've also read 14ft/lbs(perhaps nomad). I'd go with 12 and check it after 50-60 miles.  I think we have specs listed over in the mods/tips. Will add to my research list list.

I noticed that the nuts holding the exhaust on were loose, I checked the service manual and I am not certain of the torque specs....pipes are road house doollies
Does anyone know the specs for tightening the nuts on the exhaust
Thanks
