    Questions Involving the Head

    by TJ21 » Sat May 16, 2015 7:12 pm

    Hello all,

    I have an 07 250x and just removed the head and have it to a shop and they fixed a few things. I was wondering do I just need to buy a head gasket or is it a spacer like on some of the KTMs? Also what are the torque specs for the 4 head bolts?

    Thanks, TJ

    Welcome to the site ! \:D/

    All that is required is a head gasket to re-attach the head , no spacers to alter compression , etc

    As far as Torque , 29 ft lbs / 39 Nm for the 4 main head nuts , then 7 ft lbs / 10 Nm for the 2 small bolts on the left side of the head

    Also 12 ft lbs / 16 Nm for the Cam Tower Bolts
