Torque for valve cover bolts? 94 Vulcan 1500A

kurt64 · 03-29-2006

I need to replace the valve cover gaskets on my 94 Vulcan 1500a...does anyone know where I can find the proper torque for the bolts?

Those are 6mm bolts so I would suspect about 80 in/lbs or so... I don't have a VN series shop manual in my office... all are in my shop but that should be close. A few inch pounds don't make a lot of difference.

Thanks for the input...I just wanted to make sure that I don't over-torque the bolts and cause it to leak again. Thanks once again!
