I'm hearing a little ticking that sounds like it's coming from the exhaust.  Does anyone know the torque settings?

TIA  Smiley

I wouldn't use a torque wrench. Just snug them up gently with a 1/4" ratchet.

7 ftlb, which is not enough, especially if you need to crush a brand new exhaust gasket. . .

1/4" wrench, and snug like suggested above

use an inch pound torque wrench first to get a feel.
one persons snug is another's snap.....

The deal with the exhaust nuts, with an off-and-on-again, with new gaskets is.

Just snug them up.

After a few hot rides, just snug them up again.

A month later they may or may not need snugging one more time.

Trying to do it once (the first time), is a mistake.


Come to think of it, this is pretty similar to the proper technique used on high school girls....... 40+ years ago; I have no idea what works today).
