Exhaust manifold torque

[Ben34]

So I broke in my Krash footrocket, and found it’s important to torque the exhaust manifold, which is hard to get to without disassembling the pipe. Should I keep an eye on them or take it apart and torque them? I torqued everything else

I would highly suggest taking the time and checking/torquing them. The manifold came loose on a friends of mine and almost wiped out the topend with the amount of water it was dumping in.

Fiber gaskets can settle and cause a loss of tension. This happens mostly during the first few rides. You have to turn the nuts in order to check them so do that after each session until they stay tight.

I will try. Top 2 10mm bolts are impossible to get to .

Not sure what the Krash mani’s look like but would changing to a Allen head bolt make it easier for you?
